If you loved The Secret Life of Words, try My Life Without Me
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 Isabel Coixet, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Secret Life of Words, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
