If you loved Silver City, try The Brother from Another Planet

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 John Sayles, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Silver City, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Brother from Another Planet is

Aliens apparently shop at the same thrift stores as humans. A mute alien is chased by bounty hunters through Harlem. It achieves a quirky balance.
