Films like The Invisible War.

The Invisible War (2012) reads as Heavy, steady, extreme documentary / war, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, cold. 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.
