Movies that feel likeVictoria (2015)

A young Spanish woman who has newly moved to Berlin finds her flirtation with a local guy turn potentially deadly as their night out with his friends reveals a dangerous secret.

If you loved Victoria, the closest films we have are Everybody Knows (2018), Carlito's Way (1993) and Read My Lips (2001). All three share Victoria's gritty and tense feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Suburra (2015).
