Movies that feel like Marwencol (2010)
After a vicious attack leaves him brain-damaged and broke, Mark Hogancamp seeks recovery in "Marwencol", a 1/6th scale World War II-era town he creates in his backyard.
If you loved Marwencol, the closest films we have are Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles (2011), We Live in Public (2009) and Kumaré (2012). All three share Marwencol's contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Dog (2013).

If Marwencol hit the spot, these will too
Contemplative documentary, and it commits to that
The critics' underdog of the pair
Documentary built on stillness, twice over
Documentary with a pulse of stillness, in both cases
The same documentary instincts
Both are documentary through and through
Documentary approached the same way
Cut from the same documentary cloth
Both working the same documentary territory
Documentary of the same temperament
Both know what they want from documentary
The documentary is handled with the same confidence
