Films like The World Before Her.

The World Before Her (2012) reads as Sombre, steady, measured documentary / social, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, 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.
