Also one of the most impactful films ever.

Not a movie, but most of the Black Mirror episodes are like that.

Although some of the best episodes are the "feel-good" ones.

Most of the movies i thought about were already posted.

Another one could be:
Se7en

 

[Strangelove_77]

It's a tie between Grave of The Fireflies, Interiors and Melancholia..

 

[Z-Beat]

The Road
The Mist
Requiem for a Dream

 

[Pockets]

1984

 

[HiLife]

There's something weird about the johnsons.

Wait, fourth page and no Manchester By the Sea? Does that not count or just not bleak enough? Fantastic performances in that too, Casey Affleck can be top tier when cast in the right role.

That's the first movie I thought of when I read the thread title. It's been a few years but I remember this film being super depressing.

Out of curiosity, I just watched one of the trailers on YouTube and this one makes the film look like a typical "indie, feel-good movie" lol

Manchester By The Sea has a moderately hopeful ending, so I'm not sure I'd characterise it as bleak, but at points it does feel like a study in how deep abject misery can go.

I haven't seen a lot of the ones mentioned. For me it would be:

What a bleak movie.

I always found The Sweet Hereafter a movie that fits this description. The atmosphere is just cold and bleak, and the story is just full of sadness and some awful things. A good movie though.

This is on the list of beautiful movies I will never watch a second time. I do suggest it to people for a watch, but you need to be in the right head space.

It has been a while since I saw it, but Cronenberg's Dead Ringers is still in 'once but never again' folder.
