If you loved Wag the Dog, try The Humbling
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Humbling has roughly 6.8× fewer votes than Wag the Dog — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 Barry Levinson, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Wag the Dog, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Humbling is
An adaptation of Philip Roth is always a challenge. An old thespian, recovering from a breakdown, begins an affair with a younger woman. It doesn't go as planned, and age becomes more than just a number.
