If you loved Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, try Trash
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Trash has roughly 3.2× fewer votes than Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close — 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 Stephen Daldry, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Trash is
Rio de Janeiro. Morning heat. A wallet surfaces. Three young scavengers find more than cash amid the refuse. Police want it back, badly. The boys now run, seeking both justice and a way out. Daldry directs with propulsive energy.
