Movies that feel likeJulieta (2016)

The film spans 30 years in Julieta’s life from a nostalgic 1985 where everything seems hopeful, to 2015 where her life appears to be beyond repair and she is on the verge of madness.

If you loved Julieta, the closest films we have are Talk to Her (2002), God's Own Country (2017) and Blue Valentine (2010). All three share Julieta'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 Enchanted April (1991).
