Films like The Nasty Girl.

The Nasty Girl (1990) reads as Neutral, kinetic, measured drama / satire, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, 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.
