Films like The Phantom of the Opera.

The Phantom of the Opera (2004) reads as Neutral, steady, extreme thriller / drama, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, 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.
