Films like Hannah Arendt.

Hannah Arendt (2012) reads as Sombre, steady, measured drama / biography, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, 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.
