Films like Hannah and Her Sisters.

Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) reads as Warm, steady, gentle comedy / drama, 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.
