If The Wrestler hit the spot, these will too


Contemplative where it counts, romantic underneath
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics


Romance with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Both lean on romance more than on drama

Tender romance in both cases

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that

Romantic romance in both cases

Both run tender where it counts

The drama is handled with the same confidence

Romance approached the same way
