Movies that feel like Medicine for Melancholy (2009)
Waking from a one-night stand that neither remembers, Micah and Joanne find themselves wandering the streets of San Francisco, sharing coffee and conversation and searching for a deeper connection.
If you loved Medicine for Melancholy, the closest films we have are Weekend (2011), Right Now, Wrong Then (2015) and Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012). All three share Medicine for Melancholy's contemplative and romantic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Asako I & II (2018).

If Medicine for Melancholy hit the spot, these will too
The same preoccupation in both: one-night stand
Contemplative where it counts, romantic underneath
Drama built on tenderness, twice over
Contemplative romance, and it commits to that
Drama with a pulse of romance, in both cases
Tender romance in both cases
Both lean on stillness more than on drama
Romantic romance, and it commits to that
The shared currency is tenderness
Cut from the same drama cloth
Both working the same romance territory
Both are drama through and through
In the mood for more contemplative? all contemplative movies β
The best-reviewed films that share Medicine for Melancholyβs defining feeling.
