If you loved Mary, try The Smashing Machine

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 Action / Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mary, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Smashing Machine is

You're a fighter in the late '90s, hungry for the world title. But addiction and a toxic romance threaten to break you. Safdie shoots close, like a documentarian in the ring. The film lingers on what it costs to be the best.
