If you loved 7 Women, try Young Mr. Lincoln
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Ford, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to 7 Women, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Young Mr. Lincoln is
Abe Lincoln’s law career starts with a log-cabin education and a doomed romance. His first big case defends two brothers against murder charges in frontier Illinois. Henry Fonda makes Lincoln’s folksy brilliance feel inevitable.
