If you loved Little Men, try Love Is Strange

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 Ira Sachs, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Little Men, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Love Is Strange is

An American version of "Make Way for Ducklings" without the ducklings. A newly married couple in New York must find places to live after one of them loses his job. Ira Sachs delivers a kindly film about the kindness of strangers.
