Movies that feel like Lilting (2014)
A young man of Chinese-Cambodian descent dies, leaving behind his isolated mother and his lover of four years. Though the two don't share a language, they grow close through their grief.
If you loved Lilting, the closest films we have are Rachel Getting Married (2008), Silent Heart (2014) and City of Men (2007). All three share Lilting's contemplative and melancholy feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist (1997).
