If you loved Man Down, try A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints

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 Dito Montiel, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Man Down, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints is

You grow up in a violent Queens neighborhood with a tight-knit group of friends, but then a call from home changes everything. The director's own experiences inform this gritty coming-of-age story.
