Movies that feel like Silent Heart (2014)
Three generations of a family gather over a weekend. The sisters Sanne and Heidi have accepted their terminally-ill mother’s desire to die before her disease worsens; but, as the weekend progresses, their mother's decision becomes harder and harder to deal with, and old conflicts come to the surface.
If you loved Silent Heart, the closest films we have are Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist (1997), City of Men (2007) and Places in the Heart (1984). All three share Silent Heart'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 Lilting (2014).

Drama built on stillness, twice over
Both work the same melancholy
Cut from the same drama cloth
Drama of the same temperament

Drama in the same key
The drama is handled with the same confidence
Both know what they want from drama
