Films like The Eyes of Tammy Faye.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2000) reads as Neutral, steady, measured documentary / biography, 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.
