If you loved Love and Other Cults, try A Boy and His Samurai
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 Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Love and Other Cults, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What A Boy and His Samurai is
A time-traveling samurai ends up in modern-day Tokyo, where he bonds with a single mom and her son over an unexpected talent. The sword-for-hire swaps steel for sprinkles to win hearts. One suspects his katana would’ve been safer in the kitchen.
