Films like The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969) reads as Sombre, kinetic, measured drama / school, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, 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.
