This recommendation may seem somewhat orthodox, as these movies are really different in plot and genre. However, i still find them pretty sinilar in the sense that to both theres much more than what they seem like in the beginning. Both movies feature a little plot twist so its best to go in uninformed. ((They start off as (fake)documentaries, however [spoiler] also focus on the directors and tell the story of how these documentaries came to be.))
