If you loved Safety Not Guaranteed, try these.

The One I Love poster 01

Movie / 2014 / Comedy / Drama

The One I Love

Why this pick

Like Safety Not Guaranteed, it pairs an offbeat relationship comedy with a gently unnerving speculative premise, letting emotional uncertainty and deadpan humour build before the strangeness takes hold.

Palm Springs poster 02

Movie / 2020 / Comedy / Romance

Palm Springs

Why this pick

Its time-bending hook has the same breezy, character-first charm: witty, wounded people use an impossible situation to stumble toward greater honesty and connection.

The Map of Tiny Perfect Things poster 03

Movie / 2021 / Comedy / Fantasy / Romance

The Map of Tiny Perfect Things

Why this pick

A warm, modest-scale time-loop romance that shares Safety Not Guaranteed’s curiosity about ordinary life becoming magical, balancing playful discovery with sincere feelings.

Dave Made a Maze poster 04

Movie / 2017 / Comedy / Adventure / Horror

Dave Made a Maze

Why this pick

This handmade indie oddity channels a similarly earnest faith in ridiculous ideas, turning a low-key relationship story into imaginative, funny, unexpectedly heartfelt adventure.

Another Earth poster 05

Movie / 2011 / Drama / Science Fiction

Another Earth

Why this pick

For the reflective side of Safety Not Guaranteed: a small-scale speculative idea frames regret, longing, and tentative human connection rather than spectacle.
