If you loved Little Man Tate, try Home for the Holidays
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 Jodie Foster, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Little Man Tate, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Home for the Holidays is
A dysfunctional family gathers for Thanksgiving, somehow missing everyone’s expectations. Claudia, recently dumped by both job and boss, endures the chaos with soggy casseroles. Like a holiday special written by a Scorsese fan, it settles for recognizing its own dysfunction without fixing it.
