The difference: A cycling-underdog story about class, not a single day of confinement

A wry, wistful look at how kids carry family baggage into adolescence

The difference: A one-night party chase comedy, louder and more frantic in pace

A wistful look at the gap between who you are and who you're expected to be
The difference: A magical body-swap fantasy, not a single day of forced honesty

The same director's gift for mismatched people wearing down each other's walls
