Movies that feel like Born in Flames (1983)
In near-future New York, ten years after the “social-democratic war of liberation,” diverse groups of women organize a feminist uprising as equality remains unfulfilled.
If you loved Born in Flames, the closest films we have are LFO (2013), The Face of Another (1966) and The Element of Crime (1984). All three share Born in Flames' contemplative and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Liquid Sky (1982).

If Born in Flames hit the spot, these will too
Drama built on stillness, twice over
Both lean on ideas more than on science fiction
Leans harder into crime than Born in Flames does
Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases
Cerebral science fiction, and it commits to that
Sits closer to adventure than Born in Flames does
Both working the same drama territory
Drama in the same key
Drama approached the same way
The science fiction is handled with the same confidence
Science fiction of the same temperament
