Films like The Tsugua Diaries.

The Tsugua Diaries (2021) reads as Warm, measured, gentle drama / experimental, inventive 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.
