Films like The Face of an Angel.

The Face of an Angel (2014) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / thriller, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold. 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.
