Our read · The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016) reads as a heavy, steady, inventive supernatural · mystery · atmospheric entry — extreme in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, nihilistic in outlook. Hand-scored on twelve axes of taste — mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, stakes, humour, reality, density, warmth, auteur, intensity, and era — with a derived palette drawn from its dominant cinematography.
