Movies that feel likeFidelity (2019)

A successful obstetrician living a seemingly stable married life begins to question her relationship when emotional and physical intimacy fades. Suspecting her husband of betrayal, she seeks connection elsewhere, stepping into a hidden world that offers desire, control, and escape. As she navigates this parallel existence, the boundaries between loyalty, loneliness, and self-discovery slowly begin to blur.

If you loved Fidelity, the closest films we have are The Commune (2016), Clergy (2018) and Queen of Hearts (2019). All three share Fidelity's contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
