Films like The Girl Without Hands.

The Girl Without Hands (2016) reads as Sombre, slow-burn, measured animation / fantasy, surreal in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
