Films like Les Indésirables.

Les Indésirables (2023) reads as Heavy, kinetic, measured drama / political, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold. 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.
