Films and TV shows that feel like MUTT by Leon Thomas
The raw, bruised desperation of someone who feels used up, running ragged for love, and questioning their own loyalty.
- Queen & Slim (2019): It captures that desperate, nocturnal flight-response and the heavy burden of running on empty for someone you love.
- Euphoria (2019): The hazy, beautiful misery of toxic modern youth romance matches the song's bruised neo-soul aesthetic.
- If Beale Street Could Talk (2018): It shares the lush, soulful atmosphere and the aching weight of devotion against insurmountable odds.
- Atlanta (2016): It mirrors the surreal hustle, exhaustion, and survival instincts of young Black men navigating broken systems.
- Uncut Gems (2019): The relentless, high-anxiety panic of a man running himself into the ground matches the song's driving desperation.
- Blue Valentine (2010): It dissects the painful slow-motion collapse of a relationship where one person is giving everything and getting nothing.
- Insecure (2016): It speaks directly to the messy, modern dating struggles of knowing your worth while constantly settling for less.
- Zola (2021): The neon-lit, chaotic descent into modern exploitation echoes the feeling of being led astray by bad company.
