What they share

Both films are directed by Lorene Scafaria, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory.

What The Meddler is

Marnie’s iPhone doubles as both lifeline and weapon. Moving to LA to smother her screenwriter daughter, she pivots from pursuit to philanthropy once rejection sets in. The result is a mother who accidentally improves strangers’ lives better than her own.
