Films like Made in Bangladesh.

Made in Bangladesh (2019) reads as Sombre, steady, measured drama / labour, 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.
