*trigger warning - upsetting content* The most upsetting film you've ever seen...

[YellowRedBlueGreen]

Harry Brown - I absolutely hated it and felt depressed for days, probably because those kinds of gangs are real and only 100 miles down the road. I was especially hurt watching the two beginning scenes, where they shoot a Mum walking her baby in a park just for a laugh and when they beat to death an innocent man trying to stop his car being vandalised. It reminded me of a particularly well known case 15 odd years ago (GN) 💔

Midnight Express - when they hung the cat purely out of spite because they knew the prisoner loved it. I can't watch it

Dumbo - when the Mean Elephants reject him and he's crying by his bucket of water. Fucking kills me

Sophie's Choice, saw it years ago and I'm still not over it!

Requiem for a Dream. Haunting. Stuck with me for ages.

Not a film but the series Dopesick, I will never shake off

Midnight by the sea. Watched it on a plane and it broke me 😢

The Pianist.

American history X. There aren't many films I wouldn't watch again but also rate, this is one.

Sleepers- i still think it was the most upsetting film i have seen.

Threads.

Seven pounds

Into the Wild. Saw it with a friend and just found it bleak and it left me feeling a bit grubby, in an odd way. Wouldn't watch it again.

Schindler's List is an obvious one but I saw it at school at 16 and have never watched it again! I'm 38 next year for context!

Who will love my children
It's bloody harrowing

Tw

Nobody's Child channel 4.

About a girl who is first sold to her dad's mates when he's lost playing cards with his mates.

Then mum & dad split up, girl is happy as he seems nice and buys her a new dress. She gets excited as mum and new boyfriend her to put the dress on for a party. All going well at the party until she loses at a party game, they've set her up to lose. The loser (girl) has to perform sexual acts on all their friends. They're all her friends parents and neighbors.

United 93 made me weep and I am not an emotional person 😥

Requiem for a dream and The Audition.

I’m much more careful these days.

I'm following this so that I can avoid these films. My heart can't take it

The end traumatised me

Seen several of the ones mentioned, but 12 Years a Slave. That one scene in particular with Lupita Nyong'o.

The Bombardment

I saw Precious for the first time a few weeks ago, it was a hard watch for sure.

So many, but I think The Road. The way humans treated each other. The people used as meat in the basement.

But also seven pounds, the pianist, the boy in the striped pyjamas

I've googled Nobody's Child channel 4 and got nothing

Apart from some frocks

Wolf Creek.

Life is beautiful. Italian film about a dad and young son who get sent to a concentration camp and the sad pretends it’s all a game to stop his son getting scared. It starts off a bit silly and slapstick but it’s just so upsetting.
The Pianist too.
oh god I feel depressed again just thinking about them 😓

I , Daniel blake

But I haven't been able to watch Dumbo since I had a child over a decade ago now, even that song, baby mine, heart breaking.
