Films like The Eternal Feminine.

The Eternal Feminine (2017) reads as Sombre, measured, measured biography / drama, grounded 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.
