If you loved My Life Without Me, try Elisa & Marcela
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 Isabel Coixet, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to My Life Without Me, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Elisa & Marcela is
Here's a film that really wants to be tastefully tragic. In 1901 Spain, two women in love concoct a scheme for one to pose as a man so they can legally marry. This makes them Spain's first recorded same-sex marriage, though the subsequent persecution somewhat dampens the mood.
