If you loved Hyde Park on Hudson, try Venus

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 Roger Michell, 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 Hyde Park on Hudson, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Venus is

Here's a movie hoping to prove that love (or something like it) is ageless. A lecherous old actor becomes infatuated with his friend's surly niece. They both learn something, though whether it's profound is up for debate.
