Films like Stories of Our Lives.

Stories of Our Lives (2014) reads as Sombre, steady, measured drama / lgbtq, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
