Films like The Uncertainty Principle.

The Uncertainty Principle (2002) reads as Sombre, slow-burn, measured melodrama / literary, inventive 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.
