Films like The Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court (1987) reads as Heavy, measured, extreme documentary / crime, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, 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.
