Films like The Nothing Factory.

The Nothing Factory (2017) reads as Sombre, measured, measured labor / occupation, 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.
