Films like The Unknown Girl.

The Unknown Girl (2016) reads as Heavy, measured, measured drama / mystery, grounded 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.
