SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like Kramer vs. Kramer, it treats a family crisis with restrained, actor-led intimacy, finding the deepest drama in difficult conversations, parental blind spots, and the tentative work of reconnecting.
02
Why this pick
A sharply observed divorce drama centred on children caught between flawed parents; its domestic details, emotional awkwardness, and shifting parent-child loyalties echo Kramer vs. Kramer’s unsentimental honesty.
03
Why this pick
Its separation unfolds through everyday pressures rather than melodrama, with competing parental responsibilities and moral perspectives creating the same quietly escalating, devastating emotional tension.
04
Why this pick
This shares the intimate scale and compassion of Kramer vs. Kramer: a dissolving marriage becomes a painful negotiation over parenthood, conveyed through precise performances and emotionally exposed scenes.
05
Why this pick
A grounded 1970s character drama about a parent rebuilding life after a marriage ends, balancing hardship, humour, and a vividly imperfect mother-son relationship without easy judgments.

01 / THE STORY
Ted Kramer is a workaholic advertising executive who has just been assigned a new and very important account. Ted arrives home and shares the good news with his wife Joanna only to find that she is leaving him. Saying that she needs to find herself, she leaves Ted to raise their son Billy by himself. Ted and Billy initially resent one another as Ted no longer has time to carry his increased workload and Billy misses his mother's love and attention. After months of unrest, Ted and Billy learn to cope and gradually bond as father and son.
