If you loved The Critic, try Red Riding: The Year of Our Lord 1983
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 Anand Tucker, and they sit in Crime / Drama / Mystery / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Critic, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Red Riding: The Year of Our Lord 1983 is
Yorkshire. Autumn. A child's shoe, abandoned. Another girl vanishes, prompting a haunted police investigator to revisit an unsolved case from a decade earlier. A desperate lawyer, chasing shadows, risks everything to free a falsely accused man. Bleak police procedural recalls hard-boiled 70s crime cinema.
