Films like Romeo & Juliet.

Romeo & Juliet (2013) reads as Sombre, steady, measured romance / drama, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
