If you loved Dedication, try Stage Beauty
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
Theysit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Dedication, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Stage Beauty is
One imagines the pitch meeting was fairly straightforward. A cross-dressing actor finds his career threatened when women are allowed on stage. London's most celebrated Desdemona, Ned Kynaston, finds himself upstaged by a woman, Maria, who once assisted his act. It's a frothy period piece, and it certainly looks like one.
