If you loved If Beale Street Could Talk, try Mufasa: The Lion King
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 Barry Jenkins, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to If Beale Street Could Talk, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Mufasa: The Lion King is
Savannah sunset, acacia trees, a cub's cry. A young lion meets a future king, an unlikely bond forms, a pride's fate hangs. Barry Jenkins brings a fresh eye to a classic tale.
