If Perfume: The Story of a Murderer hit the spot, these will too

Both land stillness and obsession at once
The difference: Less gritty, more its own thing

Both are built on the same subject: obsession
The difference: Reviewed even better

Common ground: small town life
The difference: Goes its own way on the stillness

Both keep coming back to the same thing: obsession
The difference: Leans further into documentary

The same preoccupation in both: supernatural

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that

Gritty crime in both cases

Both lean on grit more than on fantasy

Drama with a pulse of obsession, in both cases

Crime built on grit, twice over

Dreamlike fantasy in both cases

Both lean on stillness more than on drama
In the mood for more gritty?
