Films like The Red Pill.

The Red Pill (2016) reads as Sombre, steady, measured documentary / political, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, 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.
