If you loved Battle of the Sexes, try Little Miss Sunshine

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 Jonathan Dayton, Valerie Faris, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Battle of the Sexes, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Little Miss Sunshine is

A worn Volkswagen van, Arizona desert, scorching summer heat. A dysfunctional family piles in, each with their own baggage, headed for a child beauty pageant in California. It's a film best watched on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
