If you loved Atlantic City, try How I Live Now

What they share

Theyboth carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Atlantic City, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What How I Live Now is

This one really wants to be *The Quiet Earth*. A New Yorker reluctantly visits her British cousins, then World War III kicks off. She and a local boy share some intense survivalist romance. It's all quite competent, just not especially original.
