SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Its childlike android viewpoint and aching need for human attachment echo the unsettling tenderness of The Trouble with Being Born, while expanding its questions of memory, ownership, and projected love.
02
Why this pick
A colder, more violent companion piece about identity being overwritten: it shares Wollner’s disquieting interest in bodies as vessels, fractured selfhood, and technology’s intrusion into intimacy.
03
Why this pick
Its controlled pacing, ambiguous supernatural psychology, and painfully repressed family history create a similarly eerie coming-of-age portrait where inner wounds become uncanny external forces.
04
Why this pick
For the same alien, observational distance and spare visual storytelling: an inhuman figure moves through ordinary spaces, making desire, vulnerability, and personhood feel profoundly unfamiliar.
05
Why this pick
This gentler but still perceptive android drama similarly asks whether a tailored artificial companion can expose old losses and desires that human relationships leave unresolved.
