If you loved It's Only the End of the World, try Heartbeats

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 Xavier Dolan, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to It's Only the End of the World, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Heartbeats is

Montreal coffee shop, summer, espresso machines humming. Francis and Marie compete for Nicolas' attention, a tangled dance of desire and friendship. Dolan's early work already showcases his flair for youthful angst.
