Cinetrii analyses reviews to infer possible inspirations behind a film. Enter a title to find other works that may have inspired (or been inspired by) it, along with the quotes that determine the connection.
Nope (2022) Everyone left Nope naming a different film. Tremors, Akira, and over and over, Spielberg. This is Peele's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Moonrise Kingdom (2012) Anderson's runaway children have a lineage of their own. Truffaut's Small Change behind them, Jojo Rabbit in front.
The Holdovers (2023) Alexander Payne made a film that reviewers kept dating to the 1970's. The works of Hal Ashby are natural touchstones: Harold and Maude or The Last Detail.
Pulp Fiction (1994) Quentin Tarantino's films are packed with homages and Pulp Fiction is no exception. Have you seen Kiss Me Deadly or Charley Varrick?
The Substance (2024) Body horror as a beauty regimen. Critics put it beside Death Becomes Her and Society, and further back, The Picture of Dorian Gray.
MaXXXine (2024) The gondola up to the Hollywood Hills mansion is Body Double, undisguised. The rest West took from Hardcore and Chinatown.
