Films like Finding Neverland.

Finding Neverland (2004) reads as Warm, steady, measured drama / biopic, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, 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.
