Films like Electrick Children.

Electrick Children (2012) reads as Neutral, measured, measured drama / romance, inventive 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.
