Films like The End of the World.

The End of the World (2019) reads as Sombre, measured, measured youth / reformatory, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
