I just watched this movie, and it has made me super depressed. It's still got beautiful acting. Which movie has made you the most depressed?

Jasp, you need to rewatch AN. Also, In Bruges is fairly depressing at times. No Country for Old Men and Fargo, well, I wouldn't go so far as to call them depressing. Schindler's List though, I don't think I've been more emotional at the ending of any other movie before. The Pianist is pretty depressing too.

Lol I just stated some movies from the back of my head that I remember being depressing. I guess this means I got some rewatching to do.
Like it doesn't even try to be serious, but it gets the message out there.

I rarely ever watch movies twice on my own, but Seven Psychopaths was a great exception to that rule, tbh. Society's perception of mental disorder is an issue that's really important to me personally and that movie honestly does it justice (while being utterly hilarious).
Seven Psychopaths was really good by i've only watched on a plane so far, so I should probably rewatch to see if it's better than In Bruges. I'd highly reccomend Requiem and Fargo, they're both great imo.
It's by no means my favourite film, but it's one of the few films to actually get an emotional reaction out of me (that's a rarity for me at least), so in that sense, yeah. I'd say it's pretty great.
Apocalypse Now is a great adaptation of the acclaimed literary classic "Heart of Darkness". I don't think it lacks substance at all, maybe you should rewatch it. But it actually surprised me that you addressed "Requiem for a Dream", one of the most overrated and mediocre films I've ever watched as a masterpiece. Our opinions are absolutely different.

In Bruges is fantastic. Seven Psychopaths is still my favorite black comedy though. Haven't watched Requiem for a Dream or Fargo yet, but they're both on my list.
I just downloaded Grave of the Fireflies to watch tonight. That and Upstream Color.
Fargo and In bruges are both fantastic movies, but i'd class them both as a black comedies of sorts, and if you watch them with that in mind some of the sadder parts can be pretty funny. Very enjoyable films either way though.
IDK how i forgot this but Fargo is definitely the most depressing movie i've ever watched and also one of the best.Also, In Bruges and No Country for Old Men.
I felt it lacked substance for a lot of the movie, and was too slow for what there was of plot to grab a hold of me and make me interested in any of the characters / care about what happened to them, which was the whole premise of the movie really.
Edit: I've been told by multiple people that I need to rewatch it at some point, so I will get around to doing that as I'm universally wrong it seems hehe.
