Films like 40 Days and 40 Nights.

40 Days and 40 Nights (2002) reads as Cosy, kinetic, measured comedy / romance, inventive in texture. Redemptive, mid-stakes, tender. 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.
