If you loved Life, try The Ref

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 Ted Demme, and they sit in Comedy / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to Life, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Ref is

This aims for a dark holiday farce and mostly gets there. A thief breaks into a house only to find himself playing mediator in a marriage on the verge of collapse. Turns out, holding a family hostage is the least of his problems.
