If you loved Waiting to Exhale, try Hope Floats
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 Forest Whitaker, and they sit in Comedy / Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Waiting to Exhale, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Hope Floats is
Someone finally lived the nightmare scenario of daytime TV. Birdee and her child move back to a town where gossip is the main attraction. It’s not clear who’s more damaged: her ex-best friend or the town itself.
