Films like The Station Agent.

The Station Agent (2003) reads as Neutral, measured, measured comedy / 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.
