Films like You Don't Know Jack.

You Don't Know Jack (2010) reads as Sombre, steady, measured drama / tv-movie, 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.
