Films like The Artist and the Model.

The Artist and the Model (2012) reads as Neutral, measured, gentle drama / art, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, 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.
