Films like The Case for Christ.

The Case for Christ (2017) reads as Warm, steady, gentle drama / heist, grounded in texture. Redemptive, 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.
