Movies that feel likeWhat Happened to Monday (2017)

In a world where families are limited to one child due to overpopulation, a set of identical septuplets must avoid being put to a long sleep by the government and dangerous infighting while investigating the disappearance of one of their own.

If you loved What Happened to Monday, the closest films we have are Minority Report (2002), Twelve Monkeys (1995) and Dark City (1998). All three share What Happened to Monday's cerebral and bleak feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Watchmen (2009).
