Films like To Each His Own Cinema.

To Each His Own Cinema (2007) reads as Neutral, measured, gentle comedy / drama, surreal 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.
