If you loved Begin Again, try Flora and Son

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Flora and Son has roughly 18.9× fewer votes than Begin Again — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 Carney, and they sit in Comedy / Drama / Music territory. If that's the register that drew you to Begin Again, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Flora and Son is

Motherhood meets a six-string epiphany when Flora trades Max’s rebellious riffs for a lopsided acoustic and a once-famous has-been in Dublin. One catchy chorus later, a ragged family learns the chords to staying together. The movie stops just short of a full musical fairy-tale.
