Films like Terrestrial Verses.

Terrestrial Verses (2023) reads as Sombre, steady, measured drama / anthology, inventive 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.
