Films like The Wishing Tree.

The Wishing Tree (1977) reads as Neutral, measured, measured drama / georgian, 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.
