Films like The Vanishing of Sidney Hall.

The Vanishing of Sidney Hall (2018) reads as Sombre, steady, measured drama / mystery, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold. 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.
