If you loved Midnight Swan, try Love and Other Cults

What they share

Both films are directed by Eiji Uchida, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Midnight Swan, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
