If you loved Flash of Genius, try I Saw the Light

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 Marc Abraham, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Flash of Genius, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

bittersweet

What I Saw the Light is

Hank Williams biopic without the mythmaking. A talented but self-destructive singer climbs the country charts in the 1940s while his marriage and health unravel. Delivers a raw portrait of fame’s cost, carried by a gaunt-faced Tom Hiddleston in a performance that never winks at the audience.
