Films like Zulu Love Letter.

Zulu Love Letter (2004) reads as Heavy, measured, measured drama / trauma, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, 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.
