If you loved Lantana, try In the Valley of Elah
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
Theysit in Crime / Drama / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lantana, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What In the Valley of Elah is
A Kansas motel past midnight, a son’s uniform laid neatly on the floor. His parents arrive the next morning to find the base reporting him AWOL. After the Army releases him in error, a detective pieces together the hours between discharge and disappearance. Bloodstained boots lead toward a firing range. A post-Travis Bickle Paul Haggis war drama that listens more than it screams.
