If you loved Portrait of a Lady on Fire, try Tomboy
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Tomboy has roughly 3.9× fewer votes than Portrait of a Lady on Fire — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 Céline Sciamma, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Portrait of a Lady on Fire, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Tomboy is
A Girlhood without boys. A child passing as male finds friendship and young love during one summer. Identity becomes a game, but the carefree days can't last forever. Sciamma's light touch makes this more tender than tense.
