Films like The Last Family.

The Last Family (2016) reads as Heavy, steady, measured drama / biography, 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.
