Films like The Postmodern Life of My Aunt.

The Postmodern Life of My Aunt (2006) reads as Neutral, measured, gentle drama / 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.
