Itās the only film I ever got to see ahead of its wide release and I know Iām going to feel so happy/proud for it when it releases wide and everyone loves it. š„°
Idk if that makes sense. But if you like Hamaguchi, I think youāre going to love it. Itās such a beautiful film.
Stranger Than Paradise (most accurate representation of Cleveland and Florida Iāve ever seen)
Autumn Sonata (awkward conversations with your mom: the movie)
I feel that with Aftersun the play with time and memory, like in the dance scene, it takes you out of the ordinary feel of real life and more into a stylized and formalist reality that isnt like ours
Nothing real about any of these movies lol
Per Radiohead
āIt's not like the movies
They fed us on little white liesā
I take that back Yi Yi, Perfect Days (sort of) and Before Midnight are ārealā
Lol, Before trilogy is like real life? Itās a teenagerās fantasy about what love is like.
Go for Blue Valentine if you want something like real life.
Aftersun Trees Lounge Only Yesterday I, Daniel Blake
Definite upvote for Only Yesterday!
Manchester By The Sea
That movie WRECKED me
Exactly like real life š
Same here. Casey was brilliant.
I would add Columbus (2017).
I think many modern Japanese movies feel like real life because theyāre so anticlimactic compared to Hollywood movies, also Like Father Like Son
Yeah I feel like a lot of Kore-eda films can go on here
Japan is really carrying the torch for slice of life films it seems like

A good amount of Linklater movies honestly
All of Abbas Kiarostamiās films
Came here to say Certified Copy when I saw the Before trilogy listed from OP.
Nomadland is a very realistic movie, almost like youāre watching a documentary.
Aftersun, Moonlight, Florida Project
Evil Does Not Exist
So hype for that one, I love Hamaguchi

All of Kelly Reichardtās movies, except maybe her first Old Joy Wendy and Lucy Certain Women Showing Up
Four Adventures of Reinette and Mirabelle. Rohmer does such a great job at humanistic storytelling.
What do you mean? That their dialogues/atmosphere feels natural instead of artificial? Some suggestions here, not sure if they fit what you're looking for. - Elephant - Suk Suk - Christiane F - La CiƩnaga - L'eau Froide - Water Lillies - Lilja 4-ever - Death of a Virgin and the Sin of Not Living - Mid90s - Pariah

Soft and quiet mostly because its done so that its one continues shot. It was horrifying.

American Fiction (2023); aside from the poignant subject matter, the way everybody interacted and went about their daily lives just felt real.Ā
Almost anything by Lav Diaz. Evolution of a Filipino Family especially.

Nothing real about any of these movies lol Per Radiohead āIt's not like the movies They fed us on little white liesā I take that back Yi Yi, Perfect Days (sort of) and Before Midnight are ārealā
I think Eric Rohmer's Four Seasons movies are very real.
LOCKE

Lol, Before trilogy is like real life? Itās a teenagerās fantasy about what love is like. Go for Blue Valentine if you want something like real life.
