Films like The Strange Case of Angelica.

The Strange Case of Angelica (2010) reads as Neutral, slow-burn, gentle drama / fantasy, 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.
