Films like Women in New York.

Women in New York (1977) reads as Sombre, steady, measured drama / tv, inventive 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.
