Films like Mondays in the Sun.

Mondays in the Sun (2002) reads as Sombre, steady, measured drama / social, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
