If Stranger Than Fiction hit the spot, these will too

Two things both keep coming back to: love and death

Contemplative where it counts, witty underneath

Playful and romantic in the same breath

The same mix in both: tenderness, then dream logic

The same preoccupation in both: love
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Contemplative drama in both cases
The difference: Sits closer to adventure than Stranger Than Fiction does

Romantic romance, and it commits to that
The difference: Easier on the wit than Stranger Than Fiction

Common ground: author

Fantasy built on tenderness, twice over

Comedy with a pulse of dream logic, in both cases

Both lean on stillness more than on drama

Both keep coming back to the same thing: fate
