If you loved Center Stage, try The History Boys

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 Nicholas Hytner, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Center Stage, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
