Films like The Student and Mister Henri.

The Student and Mister Henri (2015) reads as Warm, kinetic, 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.
