If you loved Milk, try Finding Forrester
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 Gus Van Sant, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Milk, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Finding Forrester is
Bronx streets, winter, a typewriter in a trash can. A young writer discovers a reclusive author, a private school scholarship follows. Gus Van Sant grounds the mentorship in quiet realism.
