If you loved The Song of Names, try Boychoir

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 François Girard, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Music territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Song of Names, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Boychoir is

Mr. Holland's Opus with more treble. A delinquent lands in a tony boychoir school after his mom dies. Dustin Hoffman elevates familiar boarding-school and classical-music tropes.
