Films like A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop.

A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop (2009) reads as Neutral, kinetic, measured comedy / crime, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold. 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.
