If you loved Mary Shelley, try Nappily Ever After
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 Haifaa al-Mansour, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mary Shelley, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Nappily Ever After is
Violet’s blowout emergency at the salon is less hair emergency than identity implosion. Forced to confront her tightly coiled life choices, an unexpectedly charming barber helps her unravel everything. The film’s big revelation? Even pixie cuts eventually grow back.
