If you loved True Confessions, try The Grifters
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
Theysit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to True Confessions, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Grifters is
You run a dial-a-deck romance scam from a shoebox motel room. Then your mother’s three-card Monte crew parks outside and your new squeeze walks in with a suitcase full of bearer bonds. The money’s already spent before you remember you never asked where it came from. Frears punctures American hustle with iridescent wides and a moral zero.
