If you loved Lonely Heart, try I Are You, You Am Me

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 Nobuhiko Obayashi, and they both carry the playful, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lonely Heart, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What I Are You, You Am Me is

Obayashi brings his usual light touch to the travails of adolescence. After a bump to the head, two junior high students find themselves in each other's bodies. It's a gender-swap comedy that gets away with a lot.
