If you loved Cross Road, try She and Her Cat
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 Makoto Shinkai, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Cross Road, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What She and Her Cat is
Kedi without whimsy. A lonely cat narrates his devotion to his owner, a young woman struggling with life after school. Shinkai's early b&w short is a sweet character study that belies his later visual obsessions.
