craft (aesthetic carryover):
An Angel at My Table → Sweetie.
Sweetie's saturated children's-film look survives in Angel only in the Janet character's costume and hair.
“it's like an adult film that has the aesthetics of a children's film.”

theme (recurring character type):
An Angel at My Table → Sweetie.
Both films have doofy, non-villainous, two-dimensional men and boys.
“both very good at those sorts of doofy men where they're not even villainous sort of, but they're just sort of like painfully, uh, awkward”
