If You Were Never Really Here hit the spot, these will too

Both rooted in New York City

Both are built on the same subject: murder


Tense where it counts, melancholy underneath

Crime built on grit, twice over
The difference: Leans further into western

Contemplative drama in both cases
The difference: Made in the 1980s, in a different era of the craft

Tense thriller, and it commits to that
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Both keep coming back to the same thing: flashback

Crime with a pulse of melancholy, in both cases

Both lean on grit more than on drama
The difference: Goes its own way on the tension

Both lean on stillness more than on thriller

In the mood for more gritty?
