Films like The Sea Inside.

The Sea Inside (2004) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / biography, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, tender. 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.
