Films like My Happy Family.

My Happy Family (2017) reads as Neutral, measured, gentle drama / georgian, grounded 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.
