Movies that feel likeMidway (2019)
If you loved Midway, the closest films we have are The Woman King (2022), Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) and The Shadow in My Eye (2021). All three share Midway's bleak and contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Katyn (2007).

If Midway hit the spot, these will too

Both keep coming back to the same thing: a true story
The difference: Reviewed even better

Both are working the same pair: world war ii, pacific war
The difference: Takes it somewhere less epic than Midway does

Both are built on the same subject: world war ii

The same preoccupation in both: naval warfare

Bleak and epic in the same breath

Both lean on stillness more than on war

History with a pulse of bleakness, in both cases

One thread runs through both: a true story


Action built on stillness, twice over

Bleak war, and it commits to that

Common ground: historical fiction
