I Miss You (Tu Me Manques) (2019)

This 2019 film about the staging of a theatre production tells a deeply personal story of loss and tells it with great effort and feeling, but heavy-handed theatrics, cliché and platitudes (lines like, "Art is the only thing that tells the truth", for instance) get in the way of the film having the impact the actual play had in Bolivia in 2015, apparently, when it got the notoriously homophobic country talking about gay suicide.

The Winslow Boy (1948)

In the slightly overlong 1948 film of Terence Rattigan's play based on true events, a family goes to court to clear the name of a boy expelled from naval college for stealing a postal order, but the publicity the case receives on account of the family's social standing as well as the legal precedent the case has the potential to set takes a considerable toll on the family's reputation, finances, and health.
