Films like The Golden Horse.

The Golden Horse (2013) reads as Cosy, kinetic, measured animation / fantasy, inventive in texture. Redemptive, mid-stakes, tender. 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.
