If you loved Hollywood Ending, try Sweet and Lowdown
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 Woody Allen, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hollywood Ending, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Sweet and Lowdown is
Woody Allen directs Sean Penn to act like a jazz legend. A self-proclaimed, second-best guitarist negotiates 1930s life, complete with molls and mute women. It's a period film that asks: what if Woody was a supremely talented, but troubled, jazzman?
