If you loved Swing Shift, try Ricki and the Flash
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 Jonathan Demme, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Swing Shift, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ricki and the Flash is
A washed-up rocker comes home to lick wounds both real and imaginary. She tries family harmony and fails splendidly. The guitar stays in tune; the rest is noise.
