If you loved Battle of the Sexes, try Ruby Sparks

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 tender 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 Ruby Sparks is

Los Angeles, morning, typewriter clacking. A successful novelist's blank page, a fictional character's sudden appearance in his home. Dayton and Faris balance fantasy with relatable heartache.
