Films like Madame Brouette.

Madame Brouette (2002) reads as Neutral, kinetic, measured drama / women, inventive 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.
