Films like The Double Life of Véronique.

The Double Life of Véronique (1991) reads as Neutral, slow-burn, gentle drama, inventive 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.
