Films like The Neon Bible.

The Neon Bible (1995) reads as Heavy, slow-burn, measured drama / period, 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.
