Films like Andre the Giant.

Andre the Giant (2018) reads as Warm, steady, gentle documentary / tv-movie, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, 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.
