If you loved Stand Up Girl, try The Lion

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 Ludovic Colbeau-Justin, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Stand Up Girl, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Lion is

The story of a man who fakes insanity lands in a comedy that mistakes ambiguity for wit. A caregiver’s sanity begins fraying alongside his patient’s act. The film’s premise gets more unhinged than it bargained for.
