If Beginners hit the spot, these will too

Both land stillness and romance at once

The same preoccupation in both: relationship

The same mix in both: tenderness, then wit
The difference: Critics were much harder on this one

Playful drama in both cases

Romance with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Comedy built on romance, twice over

Both trade on tenderness more than on being drama

Witty romance, and it commits to that

Both trade on play more than on being comedy

Both keep circling back to cancer

Drama built on stillness, twice over

Romantic romance in both cases
In the mood for more contemplative?
