Films like The Case Is Closed.

The Case Is Closed (1982) reads as Heavy, measured, measured drama / bengali, 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.
