If you loved Falling in Love, try Straight Time

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 Ulu Grosbard, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Falling in Love, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Straight Time is

You're a jewel thief testing the straight life after prison. You get a job, start a family, and check in with your P.O. But a system built to break you wins out. Grosbard's camera observes the loneliness of men in rooms. You wonder who wins and who loses.
