Movies that feel likeAttraction (2017)

After an alien ship crash lands in a Russian city, many who see the inside and the occupants start to question their own existence while others demand the aliens leave Earth.

If you loved Attraction, the closest films we have are Forgotten Love (2023), Bajirao Mastani (2015) and Never Look Away (2018). All three share Attraction's contemplative and romantic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Asako I & II (2018).
