If Closer hit the spot, these will too

The same preoccupation in both: grief

The same mix in both: stillness, then romance

Tender where it counts, melancholy underneath
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Common ground: forbidden love

Two things both keep coming back to: secret love and photographer
The difference: Trades the melancholy of Closer for an angle of its own

One thread runs through both: forbidden love

Both lean on stillness more than on drama


Both keep coming back to the same thing: lie

Tender drama, and it commits to that
The difference: Sits closer to fantasy than Closer does

Romance built on melancholy, twice over
The difference: Made in the 2020s, in a different era of the craft

Both are built on the same subject: secret love
