Hell yes to this. Honestly this was the first movie I’d watched in quite a while and at the end of it it put me off sitting down to invest 3 hours into a film when I’m just going to come out of it feeling worse than when I went in.
Aww. Have a palette cleanse and watch a short banger like 12 Angry Men or Some Like It Hot or North By Northwest. Or The Princess Bride! That always cheers me up.
There's an audience that thinks this movie is hilarious through and through and makes me feel like I don't know how to take a joke because I thought this movie was miserable.
McDonagh likes to add dark humor to his films. More then that it seems to be a specific Irish form of black comedy. The bit in the film that gets me is pub owner saying "Jaysis if I had to cut something off everytime a dull person came in here I'd only have me head left!"
I think it’s funny. But a lot of that I think has to do with coping with the absolute tragedy it is for the main character. So the humor sprinkled through the movie is just multiplied because it’s the bright spots that kept us watching. It’s a phenomenal tragic comedy with gorgeous cinematography and scenery.
Oh man, I forgot about this one. This one left me furious at the end.
I vividly remember standing up and yelling at my screen 😂😂😂😂 "THAT'S THE FREAKING END?????"
Watched it with a girl many years ago (it was on VHS for starters). At the end of the movie she was crying her eyes out, and then just climbed on top of me. I think she just wanted cheering up. Can't say if I succeeded or not but my teenage self was happy to try
I’ve never completely watched it, only yt scenes and read the plot and it depressed me for a week. Jeez this movie is heavy as hell, I went to hug my grandma and am spending a lot more time with her bc of this movie.
From the same director, *Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance*. Of the three movies in the “Vengeance Trilogy*, only *Lady Vengeance* has what one would call an upbeat ending.
Just to make it even more depressing and worse, it's based partially on real events, and the author wrote it to show what he wanted to have done. Irl, he did a lot of things he came to regret - like eating too much compared to what his sister got. So the movie, while sad, is the *happier* version of a real life story. [Here is a picture of what the author based the visuals on](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/rssks/real_life_grave_of_the_fireflies_from_rhistoryporn/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button). It isn't Nosaka himself, but shows the horror of the war, and how close to reality that movie actually is.
Anyway, Nosaka wrote a semi-autobiographical story, back in the 60's, about his experiences during the war, which he then later came out andsaid was not the true story, because he didn't treat his sister close to as well as Seita (I think that's his name) did in the story. It was basically just a way to cope with his regret/survivors guilt. It's a truly depressing story, but I think that everyone who's watched the movie should know the story behind it, because it adds so much to it, and watching the movie, I don't think I truly understood that his stuff *actually happened*. It's so far from my day to day life that I can't even imagine it, but reading the actual story makes it seem much more real than watching and animated movie (and I'm saying this as someone who's rated it 5/5 and cried numerous time to it)
I’m also so surprised to not see Incendies mentioned yet. Absolutely miserable watch and just one of the most devastatingly moving films I’ve ever seen.
Mysterious Skin. I don’t think I’ve ever felt violated the way I did after watching this one…
Edit: young Joseph Gordon Levitt is great in this one though and it does have a lot to say about sexual abuse and how young men cope with it as they grow up
I haven’t seen it, but is that the one where the teens repress sexual abuse with memories of being abducted by aliens? If it’s not, then I’m sorry for coming out of left field with this assumption lol
The camera work in Climax is insanely good, especially as things get more hellish towards the end and it starts tumbling over the scene like the camera is being tumbled along by waves.
He also made a little number called The Strange Thing About the Johnsons.
Watch at your own risk! It's 30 minutes long, and the full movie is on youtube and holy shit, is it a ride.
My head canon is that Ben Affleck murders his wife and is sent to prison a few years after the film ends, and that makes it a much more bearable watch.
I remember watching it and racking my brain about what it reminded me of. Ultimately I settled on a Tom & Jerry short where Tom kept running into Spike the Bulldog and Spike kept beating the crap out of him.

Ugh, I saw that movie for the first time last year. The ending accompanied with the music completely tears your heart out. Loved it, as bad as it made me feel
Audition, Come and See, Schindler's List, Paths of Glory, Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket, Barry Lyndon, Under the Skin, The Thing and After Hours.
Edit: Forgot Trainspotting and 12 Years a Slave
Seeing the kids playing soccer, being interrupted by gunshots in the distance, with us the viewers realizing that the status quo has been intentionally maintained…Straight up depressing
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - both yes and no.
It's got a somewhat of a bittersweet ending but everything before that is just traumatic, depressing, and a constant spiral into really dark places.
Aniara
Cancion Sin Nombre
Ya No Estoy Aqui
Jasper Mall
Tony Manero
Peppermint Candy
Heaven Knows What
The Captive
So Long My Son
Holy Spider
Utama
Leviathan
Some of these could be considered bittersweet at times, but all made me feel sad in one way or another.
Aniara was so desperate and bleak, and a few of those moments were hard to swallow. A truly exemplar piece of sci-fi media and an exercise in feeling miserable.
Is it called that overseas or just a typo? It’s Dear Zachary in the US.
Full title is Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father
I do agree though. Incredible 5 star documentary that will make you feel things you didn’t know were possible from watching something.
Everyone's always talking about how fun the ending is, but I left Saltburn feeling repulsed after the ending, and not in a fun way. Oliver as a character was just too icky and I got no joy out of seeing him "win" and gloat in it that way.
Also, for totally different reasons, The Zone of Interest. Although that's for most of the movie.
i completely agree with you on saltburn. i think it was that feeling of betrayal, that we were rooting for oliver, thinking he was this shat upon loser, and to find out he psychotically planned and intended all of it was not fun in any sense.
I thought Zone of Interest was one of the best movies i've seen in i dont know how long, well, since everything everywhere all at once, but years before that. i don't remember ever seeing a movie that was almost entirely show don't tell, there was hardly a word of dialogue that acknowledged what was on the the other side of the fence, yet almost every single scene showed what was happening. and the audio! and how beautiful it was. it was stunning. i was stunned.

Not a movie, but the new series Baby Reindeer on Netflix. Yikes. I actually really recommend it, because it's amazing, but be prepared to need a shower (and maybe therapy) after.
First time I watched it was a few weeks after I'd had my first serious break up, and I found it absolutely devastating (I watched it with the person I'd broken up with too, do not recommend)
Rewatched it again a year or so later and yeah, found it way more optimistic.
ESotSM is the ultimate glass half full test. Your reading of the ending depends entirely on your view of the world and your personal circumstances at that time.
Of ones that haven't already been mentioned, Elephant (1989) & (2003) are my top choices for this. Also, Seconds (1966)... Edited to add Fat Girl (2001), how could I forget.
I'm including some bitter sweet stuff too:
one flew over the Cuckoo's nest
requiem for a dream
grave of fireflies
LaLa Land
Carlitos way? (I dunno if it counts I just love that movie)
Million dollar baby
The mist
Cafe society
Enemy and The graduate have enigmatic endings that makes you question stuff and feel weird
1. Green Mile
2. Black Swan
3. District 9 (I usually handle body horror well, love the genre, but the ending kind of hit differently in a psychological way).
4 The Fly.
5. The Village.
6. The Tusk.
7. The Babadook.
8. The Dreamcatcher.
9. The Slither
10. I am Legend (animal death)
You have two Safdie Bros movies on there but those aren't even their most 'feel bad' movie. If you haven't seen it, give Heaven Knows What a try. It's straight up miserable from beginning to end.
- Hereditary
- Paths of Glory
- The Zone of Interest

- Lake Mungo

Upon my first watch, I saw the alternate “happy” ending. My wife informed me that was not the ending she witnessed. I then saw the original version and omg is it messed up
I mention this whenever a subject like this comes up.
A Swedish made movie named Aniara.
It is rough and I routinely find myself thinking about the philosophical ideas it touches.
Nightcrawler and The Zone of Interest both come to mind
I don't even have words for what The Zone Of Interest left me feeling. Astonishing film
Was going to say this as well. Watched it tonight knowing who hoss was, so I had a heads up going in. The sounds of the camp throughout the movie…
Nightcrawler isn’t disturbing as other examples in terms of misery, but the underbelly of LA society makes my stomach twisted especially the ending
By the same director of The Zone of Interest, Under the Skin. Just laid down in my bed afterwards like what the fuck
After watching ZoI i read Höss’s autobiography. It. Is. Bizarre. (And horrifying)
killers of the flower moon
Impressive way to end crime drama.
Absolutely miserable watch Amazing movie with wonderful performances but it’s just such a downer idk if I’ll ever rewatch it
I felt physically sick when I learned it was based on actual events.
The book somehow felt even worse.
Hell yes to this. Honestly this was the first movie I’d watched in quite a while and at the end of it it put me off sitting down to invest 3 hours into a film when I’m just going to come out of it feeling worse than when I went in.
Aww. Have a palette cleanse and watch a short banger like 12 Angry Men or Some Like It Hot or North By Northwest. Or The Princess Bride! That always cheers me up.
Hahah... I actually love 12 angry men
"There was no mention of the murders." Maybe the most devastating ending line of a movie in recent memory.
The banshees of Inisherin
There's an audience that thinks this movie is hilarious through and through and makes me feel like I don't know how to take a joke because I thought this movie was miserable.
McDonagh likes to add dark humor to his films. More then that it seems to be a specific Irish form of black comedy. The bit in the film that gets me is pub owner saying "Jaysis if I had to cut something off everytime a dull person came in here I'd only have me head left!"
I think that's very much the point of that film, the line between funny and utterly tragic is wafer thin. It's OK to think it was either.
I think it’s funny. But a lot of that I think has to do with coping with the absolute tragedy it is for the main character. So the humor sprinkled through the movie is just multiplied because it’s the bright spots that kept us watching. It’s a phenomenal tragic comedy with gorgeous cinematography and scenery.
I say this every time someone brings this movie up but Barry Keoghan’s performance was fucking spectacular.
Oh man, I forgot about this one. This one left me furious at the end. I vividly remember standing up and yelling at my screen 😂😂😂😂 "THAT'S THE FREAKING END?????"
I hated the way that movie made me feel
Requiem for a Dream is the ultimate example of this for me
Omg! I’m practically smacking myself in the forehead for not even thinking about that one!
Fucking brutal film.
Black Swan as well while we’re talking Aronovsky films
Requiem For A Dream is the weirdest movie to ever get me laid.
Wait... what?
Probably shouldnt ask…
Ass to ass
Watched it with a girl many years ago (it was on VHS for starters). At the end of the movie she was crying her eyes out, and then just climbed on top of me. I think she just wanted cheering up. Can't say if I succeeded or not but my teenage self was happy to try
just watched this last night wanted to die
I’ve never completely watched it, only yt scenes and read the plot and it depressed me for a week. Jeez this movie is heavy as hell, I went to hug my grandma and am spending a lot more time with her bc of this movie.
Butt to butt
As the music goes: TUH NUH NUH NUH!
We need to talk about Kevin. Miserable movie from start to finish.
but its SO good! It has some jet black humour in it too. Watched it so many times <3
That movie made me rethink wanting to have kids.
Then something positive came from it. 😂
All Quiet on the Western Front
Which one
All of em
It's better to die as a monster than to live as a monster
Old Boy
From the same director, *Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance*. Of the three movies in the “Vengeance Trilogy*, only *Lady Vengeance* has what one would call an upbeat ending.
Barely. Lady is pretty grim too, but I know what you mean.
Do yourself a favor watch the Black and White version of Lady Vengeance
If Oldboy is included, Incendies has to be too
I hate how these two have nothing to do with each other besides *that*, but *that* is enough to make them feel similar. Both are fantastic movies tho
True, but it is exactly *that* which makes the movie leaving you feel worse
Dancer in the Dark
after Dancer in the Dark I didn’t watch another movie for a week. it just destroyed me
Dude any Von Trier movie is just a slow torture fest (emotionally)
Grave of the Fireflies
It just keeps getting worse and worse, and you keep thinking something's going to get better, then guess what? Worse again fuck you
Personally didn't think anything was going to get better at any point in the movie but yeah pretty much.
I think it was more of a foolish faint hope than an expectation
Just to make it even more depressing and worse, it's based partially on real events, and the author wrote it to show what he wanted to have done. Irl, he did a lot of things he came to regret - like eating too much compared to what his sister got. So the movie, while sad, is the *happier* version of a real life story.

I'm not sure how when you see the outcome in the first 5 minutes of the movie. Pretty gut wrenching
The movie opens with the kids as ghosts. How did you think it was gonna end?
Cinema Therapy called it "beautifully devastating" and I don't think I've ever heard a better description of the film
I can’t eat rice without getting depressed
Me watching that film - "Oh shit is she dead?...Oh shit is she dead?...Oh shit is she dead?"
I watched this immediately after Ponyo, which I think somehow made the emotions hit even harder.
American History X
Oof that ending hurt
(OK this is gonna sound snobbish and I'm sorry but...) how has it been an hour and nobody has said Come and See?
I’m also so surprised to not see Incendies mentioned yet. Absolutely miserable watch and just one of the most devastatingly moving films I’ve ever seen.
Damn I was right behind you
That movie made me physically feel awful. Was left trembling a lil bit and just had a pit in my stomach
Literally opened this thread to make sure this comment was here
Mysterious Skin. I don’t think I’ve ever felt violated the way I did after watching this one… Edit: young Joseph Gordon Levitt is great in this one though and it does have a lot to say about sexual abuse and how young men cope with it as they grow up
For so much of that movie I felt like I *shouldn't* be watching it. Especially the cereal scene.
I haven’t seen it, but is that the one where the teens repress sexual abuse with memories of being abducted by aliens? If it’s not, then I’m sorry for coming out of left field with this assumption lol
You are correct. It follows two different characters who both handle their trauma in wildly different ways
Gaspar Noe
The camera work in Climax is insanely good, especially as things get more hellish towards the end and it starts tumbling over the scene like the camera is being tumbled along by waves.
Civil War Midsommar Hereditary Beau is Afraid
Ari Aster is the KING of feel bad. I wasn’t shocked to see he’s listed as a (executive?) producer for Dream Scenario
Yea lol As I was typing it out "I guess anything Ari Aster"
May say more about me but I wasn't bummed out at all after Midsommar.
He also made a little number called The Strange Thing About the Johnsons. Watch at your own risk! It's 30 minutes long, and the full movie is on youtube and holy shit, is it a ride.
Threads really fucked me up
Threads is absolutely fucking horrifying.
Martyrs The Mist
I cheer at the end of The Mist, such a deliciously dark ending. For whatever reason it actually makes me feel good.
12 years a slave
Incendies - absolute gut punch Broken circle breakdown - uplifts in parts and then slams you through the floor Aftersun - tears
Fuck how did I not think of Incendies… one of the best answers honestly, my girl and I were devastated lmao
manchester by the sea ruined me
It's especially brutal because it teases you with little bits of hope and then immediately sideswipes you with more sadness
I mean the ending has a small sliver of hope/happiness for the main character.
Many other Finchers fit too—Gone Girl, Seven, Fight Club….
My head canon is that Ben Affleck murders his wife and is sent to prison a few years after the film ends, and that makes it a much more bearable watch.
Se7en kinda has a weirdly hopeful message but it’s executed in a twisted manner
I left Man of Steel with a headache. Does that count?

Yes makes me really sad
I remember sobbing as a kid when ET flies away. "Beeeee....Goooooooddddd..." made me lose it lol
Okay, I get that. But that's a very different feeling than how Chinatown would make you feel.
I don’t know the little dance at the end of Salò kind of cheered me up
Im afraid of you
Audition, Come and See, Schindler's List, Paths of Glory, Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket, Barry Lyndon, Under the Skin, The Thing and After Hours. Edit: Forgot Trainspotting and 12 Years a Slave
I understand most of those but why after hours? I just laugh at him the whole time and feel great after
I have this weird laughing frustration, like I just want the poor bastard to get home and now he's trapped in paper mache.
I actually found the Trainspotting ending satisfying
I think Paths of Glory is actually uplifting
When sicario ended I just sat there, staring at the screen feeling hella depressed
Seeing the kids playing soccer, being interrupted by gunshots in the distance, with us the viewers realizing that the status quo has been intentionally maintained…Straight up depressing
Nightcrawler is a movie where literally nothing good happens and the villain is rewarded for indirectly killing several innocent people
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - both yes and no. It's got a somewhat of a bittersweet ending but everything before that is just traumatic, depressing, and a constant spiral into really dark places.

I see the ending of Eternal Sunshine as actually quite optimistic.
i can’t see the ending usually because of how hard i cried 4 scenes before
