Films like I Used to Be Famous.

I Used to Be Famous (2022) reads as Cosy, steady, gentle comedy / drama, grounded in texture. Redemptive, 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.
