Films like Until the End of the World.

Until the End of the World (1991) reads as Neutral, slow-burn, measured sci-fi / drama, inventive 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.
