If you loved Animal Factory, try Lonesome Jim

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 Steve Buscemi, and they both carry the outsider, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Animal Factory, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

Here's a film that understands the unique gravitational pull of home. Jim, a failed writer, returns to the Midwest and finds himself dealing with his brother's unfortunate car accident. He then connects with a local woman. Perhaps small-town wisdom is the only thing that can save him.
