Sunday afternoons have their own particular energy, unhurried, slightly nostalgic, perfect for films that take their time. Drama at its most powerful, character-driven, honest, and impossible to look away from. All from the 2000s, a decade that produced some of the most ambitious and original films in recent memory. Even with the sound off, these films would be worth watching, visually among the best ever made.
