Films like Eccentricities of a Blonde-Haired Girl.

Eccentricities of a Blonde-Haired Girl (2009) reads as Neutral, slow-burn, measured drama / romance, 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.
