Films like The Skin of the Wolf.

The Skin of the Wolf (2018) reads as Heavy, slow-burn, measured romance / drama, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, 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.
