Films like The Laws of Thermodynamics.

The Laws of Thermodynamics (2018) reads as Warm, steady, gentle romance / comedy, 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.
