Movies that feel like The Overnighters (2014)
Desperate, broken men chase their dreams and run from their demons in the North Dakota oil fields. A local Pastor's decision to help them has extraordinary and unexpected consequences.
If you loved The Overnighters, the closest films we have are Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles (2011), The Dog (2013) and Marwencol (2010). All three share The Overnighters' contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Hands on a Hardbody: The Documentary (1997).
