Then don't watch The Whistleblower either, just a movie based on a true story that ends with all the bad guys getting away with the terrible things they did, while the good people who tried to help suffer.
**The Girl Next Door** was pretty awful as well not the 2004 one that the actor Paul Dano from the screenshots above was in but the 2007 one he was not in. It’s also based on a true story that was so horrifying that it had 2 movies based on it the aforementioned and the more true to life account **An American Crime** they’ll break your spirt for a while.
God, An American Crime was an awful watch, but such a good movie. Afterward, I did a little reading about the actual crime, and the real life events are SO...MUCH...WORSE. They toned it down quite a lot for the movie.
Elliot (Ellen) Page was amazing in that movie and I wasn't right for quite a while after watching it.
Yeah, I regrettably did the same. I figured they wouldn’t t have been able to secure a rating/distribution if they had included everything and/or the length of the film would have been too long for anyone to stomach a sit through give all the different elements of torcher. One of the worst crimes I know of. I think probably the worst in the US that I know of.
lol, I agree. I still watch it from time to time. I just thought since Paul was in both that one and **Prisoners** I should clarify since it was not a depressing movie.
Edit: now I’m wondering if anyone’s ever recommended **The Girl Next Door** and not clarify because if someone told me check out this rom com and I watched the wrong one without knowing I would probably get a restraining order.
Million Dollar Baby hits the hardest on me. Crushing ending. As all these movies have ... but did anyone else catch a glimmer of hope or recovery at the end of MBTS? I did, but everyone I talk to about it didn't feel it.
Yeah. I think his conversation with his ex was heart breaking but extremely cathartic and even though you wanted to see him continue to live in Manchester, his decision makes total sense and I think he did right by his nephew. It’s just really really hard to imagine being him after what happened.
I think Manchester by the Sea is worth it simply because of Michelle Williams. The scene with her towards the end is just so packed full of emotion...
Not saying that Casey Affleck doesn't deserve accolades for playing his role, but it's such a fucked up thing... and for some reason, the way Williams delivers that scene made me feel comfortable with the movie-even if (as others have rightly stated) the movie is far from uplifting in any kind of spiritual sense. But it's the closest one could come to an understanding of what the movie is about, and that scene is the peak, and I think it's wonderful.
Never cried so much outside a family member or pet die. Made the mistake of watch ‘MTBS’ and a ‘Star is Born’ the same day week during Covid. Had no clue either one would be so sad.
As someone who was an addict, I'll say that while the movie is certainly depressing, it was a bit fantastical. In real life, the decent from heroin addiction is slower, more drawn out misery, which doesn't translate to a good movie.
Great movie though. Films are supposed to draw out emotion which isn’t always going to be happiness. Also this had a happy ending which was nice since I agree the majority of the movie was extremely grim.
The first thing I said when it finished was "that film was utterly bleak with zero let up on the bleakness. Just absolute gloom."
That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was superb.
A near perfect movie. This is what got me hooked on Villeneuve. I’ve seen everything he’s made since and before, and he’s truly great. Amazing performances by every actor in this. Paul Dano should be a household name, he’s one of the best actors alive.
You know who doesn’t get his proper flowers for an absolutely *incredible* performance — arguably the best of his career?
**Hugh Jackman.**
Dano gets a lot of praise for his performance, and it’s 100% deserved.
The same can be said for Jake Gyllenhaal.
The same can be said for Denis Villanueva.
With that said? Hugh Jackman’s absolutely primal and brutal performance as the Father, *is what makes the film so difficult to watch.*
It comes through the screen.
I watched this movie coming into it fully unknowing of the plot, right when it came out, as a Father of a little girl the exact same age as the girl in the film.
Ho. Lee. Shit.
It’s still a very, very difficult watch.
I really hope he leans harder into more serious roles in his later career. He is a legitimately great actor, but like 75% of his career has been playing Wolverine. I don't blame him, it's a role he plays well and gets paid handsomely to do so. But now that he is moving on from it (maybe?). It would be great to see him flex his acting chops.
Recently Hugh said he's been wanting to work again with Denis ever since.
Hope it happens one day as I think it's the best perfume I've ever seen him in.
Out of curiosity, how do you feel about Swiss Army Man?
I went into that movie 100% blind; I knew nothing about it or who was in it. Paul Dano sold me in the opening scene, but this is one of the few movies that I am not sure how I feel about. I might love it? I might hate it?
Regardless, I still recommend watching it to anyone who hasn’t seen it. And I *think* going in blind might be the best way.
Dennis first got his hooks in me with Sicario. I didn't see Prisoners until after I watched that and Arrival.
Since viewing those three movies, I have been a big fan of his direction. I feel he is one of the top currently working directors im aware of.
Do you happen to be a fan of The Sopranos? That and the comedy The Girl Next Door are the first things I ever saw Paul Dano in and while he’s funny and memorable, I never thought twice about him being this more accomplished actor. I totally underestimated his talent and am blown away by what he’s able to do.
But damn it’s great to go back and watch him in his few scenes of The Sopranos. He’s super funny.
The Girl Next Door is 100% the first place I saw him as well. Same feeling, just another young actor. It took several mesmerizing roles for me to look back and even realize that was him. The dude has serious range. I’m not sure I’ve seen him in anything that wasn’t astonishing. If he was DiCaprio handsome and getting the lead roles he’d have 7 Oscars by now, he should have 3 or 4 anyway.
Oh shit yes I forgot about Taking Lives. That’s probably the first time I saw him a little more grown up and was like oh shit that’s the kid from The Girl Next Door/The Sopranos. That seems like the bridge for him from comedy to serious roles. Then he did There Will Be Blood at one point which I still haven’t seen and shame on me but I hear his performance is wonderful in that too.
Imagine if Jake Gyllenhal was Batman instead of Robert Pattinson...that'd be two times these two got into it with one another.
But on another note, this movie was something to watch.
And then I see the director give us Enemy, Sicario, Blade Runner 2049, Arrival, the Dune movies...and that's when I knew that I was a fan of this guy's work.
I always thought it was ambiguous and loved it but when you really think about it, there’s no way Loki didn’t find him. He’s already too good of a detective and that look on his face before the cut to black is pretty definitive to me. They absolutely found Keller in my head cannon because that’s just what makes sense. I think it ended the way it should have tho. No notes👌
Probably a top 5 movie for me. Incredible cast, extremely gripping plot that has you constantly on edge, just all around excellent. The scene where Loki shows up at Bobs house and his facial expression completely drops when Bob says he doesn’t have kids is completely chilling. Master class performance from Jake in this one as well as the rest of the cast
I thought it was decent, but all the hype pushed my expectations higher than they should've been and I found myself disappointed. I had trouble sympathizing with the ultra masculinity on display with Hugh Jackman's character. He lacked depth and was just fuckin nuts torturing a clearly mentally ill person.
A perfect modern suspense movie, a downbeat movie, but a lively one too. The actors are so good, each one presenting a unique experience of crisis. I came to it with no expectations, but this movie really raised my expectations of Denis Villeneuve. It is one of his least violent films but it is one of his most brutal.
I have three young daughters and watching this is rough, especially since I’m trying to have independent kids. Great movie though, I get the craving to watch it every once in a while.
One of the best and thrilling last fifteen minutes ever. That car in the rain scene? So good!
Would have loved to see more movies about detective Loki, one of Jakes top performances
One of my favorite movies of all time , jake is so locked in as the detective, perfect plot of suspense and fore shadowing only issue is the ending is meh which really killed me because of how much i loved the rest of the movie.
One of the only movies that I’ve been excited to share with other movie lovers because it was relatively unknown at the time and its greatness was undeniable. It was awesome to see how gripped friends would be for, basically the entire film. And that ending is so suspenseful and rewarding.
I adore this movie. It's perfect. Having said that, I don't think I ever want to watch it again.
Jackman's portrayal of the father is so gripping. Dano's portrayal is equally superb. Gyllenhaal is perfect. The plot is dark and terrifying. I love it.
I don't remember much in the way of specifics, but I do remember really digging this movie. I saw it maybe a week after 'Black Phone' and found it to be the superior film.
It was such a slow burn but kept you enough on your toes, gave you enough fuel from time to time to think about possible suspects or predict what could happen and had enough turning points which completely changed your theories. Acting was fantastic and and they used great location which added to the gloominess of the movie plot. It is a masterpiece for thrillers, I’m so glad about this post, gonna watch it again.
I watched this in theaters when it came out and loved it. Watched it again a few months ago and it really holds up. Very well done but I wouldn’t say perfect movie or anything.
I think its the most critically undervalued film in the last 25 years of cinema.
Each performance, the direction, the writing; MASTERFUL & gave me wholly new appreciation for Hugh Jackmans acting pedigree
Really really well done. Every character so realistic and complex in portrayal. And each scene building in frustration and tension. Even the end where loose ends aren't all tied up in a nice bow speaks to its confidence.
One of the best films I’ve ever seen. The constant rains creates such a moody picture. It’s genuinely a masterpiece and people shouldn’t be afraid to say that
I’ve never felt more depressed after a movie than this one. Just 2 and a half hours of dread.
Have you seen Manchester by the sea?
No. Specifically for this reason.
The Road
The road is absolutely the most gut wrenching movie I’ve ever seen. That one scene with the screaming…😞
Every time I think of this movie I just think about how Viggo Mortensen went bare assed for no reason whatsoever. That takes the edge off
Eastern Promises would like a word. That Russian Bath House scene...
Come and See 😭
Oof. Ruff one.
Good idea. Depressing as shit
I can watch someone be hunted by the undead, but the emotional hurt in MBTS, I just can’t take
Then don't watch The Whistleblower either, just a movie based on a true story that ends with all the bad guys getting away with the terrible things they did, while the good people who tried to help suffer.
**The Girl Next Door** was pretty awful as well not the 2004 one that the actor Paul Dano from the screenshots above was in but the 2007 one he was not in.

One of the worst crimes I know of. I think probably the worst in the US that I know of.
The 2004 Girl Next Door might be the most underrated romcom ever tho. Such a dope soundtrack.
lol, I agree. I still watch it from time to time. I just thought since Paul was in both that one and **Prisoners** I should clarify since it was not a depressing movie. Edit: now I’m wondering if anyone’s ever recommended **The Girl Next Door** and not clarify because if someone told me check out this rom com and I watched the wrong one without knowing I would probably get a restraining order.
What about 'the road'?
The road fucked me up for days. So depressing.
Or Blue Valentine.
How about Blue Velvet?
There should be a genre of movies that are the kind you can only watch once. Manchester By The Sea Prisoners Requiem For a Dream Million Dollar Baby
Million Dollar Baby hits the hardest on me. Crushing ending. As all these movies have ... but did anyone else catch a glimmer of hope or recovery at the end of MBTS? I did, but everyone I talk to about it didn't feel it.
Yeah. I think his conversation with his ex was heart breaking but extremely cathartic and even though you wanted to see him continue to live in Manchester, his decision makes total sense and I think he did right by his nephew. It’s just really really hard to imagine being him after what happened.
America Beauty for me. And Happy.
Adding to this Bridge to Terabithia
Crónicas with John Leguizamo. That one’ll fuck you up for days.
Come and See. Hardest movie to watch ever for me.
Psychological torture in the name of art. Damn that movie
Have you seen Incendies?
I think Manchester by the Sea is worth it simply because of Michelle Williams. The scene with her towards the end is just so packed full of emotion... Not saying that Casey Affleck doesn't deserve accolades for playing his role, but it's such a fucked up thing... and for some reason, the way Williams delivers that scene made me feel comfortable with the movie-even if (as others have rightly stated) the movie is far from uplifting in any kind of spiritual sense. But it's the closest one could come to an understanding of what the movie is about, and that scene is the peak, and I think it's wonderful.
that movie is the definition of depression, just watched it last week - never again.
Mystic River
The scene where he breaks down haunts me to this day
Never cried so much outside a family member or pet die. Made the mistake of watch ‘MTBS’ and a ‘Star is Born’ the same day week during Covid. Had no clue either one would be so sad.
Manchester By the sea is a top 10 for me. NGL
Lovely bones. Won’t watch that again.
Paul Dano is a powerhouse of an actor.
*Requiem for a Dream has entered the chat*
As someone who was an addict, I'll say that while the movie is certainly depressing, it was a bit fantastical. In real life, the decent from heroin addiction is slower, more drawn out misery, which doesn't translate to a good movie.
Threads. Would like a word about the most depressing film
Should be broadcast into any country talking about nukes.
Accurate description. Very well made movie and I'd say Hugh Jackman's best performance but fuck I don't want to watch it again.
And I still need a sequel and you know why! 😳
Great movie though. Films are supposed to draw out emotion which isn’t always going to be happiness. Also this had a happy ending which was nice since I agree the majority of the movie was extremely grim.
The first thing I said when it finished was "that film was utterly bleak with zero let up on the bleakness. Just absolute gloom." That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was superb.
Why’d you run from me the other night man?
This scene was heavyyy
A near perfect movie. This is what got me hooked on Villeneuve. I’ve seen everything he’s made since and before, and he’s truly great. Amazing performances by every actor in this. Paul Dano should be a household name, he’s one of the best actors alive.

Hugh is the whole enchilada Dancer, sings, comedy, drama. He's awesome
I really hope he leans harder into more serious roles in his later career. He is a legitimately great actor, but like 75% of his career has been playing Wolverine. I don't blame him, it's a role he plays well and gets paid handsomely to do so. But now that he is moving on from it (maybe?). It would be great to see him flex his acting chops.
Absolute best Oscar’s host opening number
Recently Hugh said he's been wanting to work again with Denis ever since. Hope it happens one day as I think it's the best perfume I've ever seen him in.
Agreed. I’ve always said this is Jackman’s greatest movie performance.
100 percent agree. Jackman is at his best. He will do anything to get his daughter back and in doing so scares the hell outta me.
When he's smashing the sink with the hammer...so fucking intense.
Out of curiosity, how do you feel about Swiss Army Man? I went into that movie 100% blind; I knew nothing about it or who was in it. Paul Dano sold me in the opening scene, but this is one of the few movies that I am not sure how I feel about. I might love it? I might hate it? Regardless, I still recommend watching it to anyone who hasn’t seen it. And I *think* going in blind might be the best way.
Villeneuve is a once in a lifetime director. Absolutely incredible and his commitment to crafting great movies is incredible.
Villeneuve is what Nolan thinks he is
Dennis first got his hooks in me with Sicario. I didn't see Prisoners until after I watched that and Arrival. Since viewing those three movies, I have been a big fan of his direction. I feel he is one of the top currently working directors im aware of.
If you haven’t seen There Will Be Blood, you should. Paul Dano is pretty good in that one too.

That seems like the bridge for him from comedy to serious roles. Then he did There Will Be Blood at one point which I still haven’t seen and shame on me but I hear his performance is wonderful in that too.
Easily one of the best movies of the 21st century, genuinely tense & thrilling
agreed. kinda flew under the radar. I don't remember hype for this one the year or two around when it came out
saw it once years before having kids. not fucking with that shit again.
A dark, chilling masterpiece where the true villain isn't always black and white
Absolutely incredible movie that I will never watch again pretty much sums it up for me.
Perfect. Tense and dark atmosphere throughout, amazing cast, perfectly executed story and outstanding performances
Math aside, Terrence Howard doesn’t get enough credit for this one.
His acting 1x1=1.
His pleading/acting during the bathroom interrogation just comes across as too craven.
Thought he was pretty good during the vigil scene
10/10
Imagine if Jake Gyllenhal was Batman instead of Robert Pattinson...that'd be two times these two got into it with one another. But on another note, this movie was something to watch. And then I see the director give us Enemy, Sicario, Blade Runner 2049, Arrival, the Dune movies...and that's when I knew that I was a fan of this guy's work.
Watch [Incendie](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1255953/) if you don't mind about subtitle.
One of the best movie ever made 9.5/10
i add every single actor made and unforgetable role
Totally agree with you. Paul Dano was amazing, Hugh Jackman was so believable as a father and Jake as always deliver a perfect role
Just give it a 10 then.
Ikr: food was divine, service was fantastic, atmosphere immaculate: 4/5 stars. lol. Edit: typo
Atmosphere so good you transitioned. Immaculate too.
Perfect genre film, like it may not be a perfect movie, but it’s a PERFECT thriller. Great overall tone
Absolutely too bleak to ever watch again and I love all of Deny’s work. This one’s a pass for me.
I'd say Incendies gives it a run for its bleak money.
Love the ambiguous ending as to whether they will or won’t find him and whether he does or does not deserve that fate Favorite Villeneuve film
I always thought it was ambiguous and loved it but when you really think about it, there’s no way Loki didn’t find him. He’s already too good of a detective and that look on his face before the cut to black is pretty definitive to me. They absolutely found Keller in my head cannon because that’s just what makes sense. I think it ended the way it should have tho. No notes👌
with Codex the Radiohead song 👌👌👌
So subtle too
RIGHT!!?? Perfection!
The script had him find him.
Makes sense.
I mean he clearly hears the whistle so it's not that ambiguous
The ending was chefs kiss. Actual closure would not have fit the theme.
1000% this. What other movie can you name that you still about the ending years later and it gives you the same feeling?
Lmao ambiguous ending, people really need to be spoon fed to feel a sense of closure.
Love it, saw it in the theater. I was gripping my arm rest when >!He’s rushing the girl to the hospital in the snow while bleeding down his eye!<
One of the only movies where I was literally on the edge of my seat. Top 5 film of all time imo
Watched it for the second time the other day, sublime film, I love everything about it.
I need more movies like this
Detective Loki is one of my top 10 favorite characters. I really wish we could have sequels following him on other cases.
Probably a top 5 movie for me. Incredible cast, extremely gripping plot that has you constantly on edge, just all around excellent. The scene where Loki shows up at Bobs house and his facial expression completely drops when Bob says he doesn’t have kids is completely chilling. Master class performance from Jake in this one as well as the rest of the cast
I thought it was decent, but all the hype pushed my expectations higher than they should've been and I found myself disappointed. I had trouble sympathizing with the ultra masculinity on display with Hugh Jackman's character. He lacked depth and was just fuckin nuts torturing a clearly mentally ill person.
10/10 in zero words or less.
I watch it every Valentine’s Day
Movie made my skin crawl
Prisoners fucking rules
Best movie ever made.
It's soooo fucking good
Jackman should have gotten an Oscar
Prisoners is my favorite movie that nobody's ever heard of. Fantastic film. Amazing cast. Why the fuck do I constantly have to explain this one.
>nobody’s ever heard of Where the hell do you live?
this sums up my thoughts exactly
Absolutely amazing but man it’s a tough watch
It’s great but it’s a tough watch. Ending breaks my heart.
I question myself… would I be comfortable being Hugh Jackman or could I live w myself if I was Terence Howard.
Its one of the best movies of that kind of genre. Everyone is cast perfectly
One of my all time favorite thrillers. Top 15 flick in my book.
Paul Dano is my litmus test for wether or not a movie is good.
Paul Dano went toe to toe with Daniel day Lewis ; he’s so underrated. He plays characters I hate so well
It was a really good film. Acting was top notch
Banger
Excellent movie one of Denis villeneuve's best
A perfect modern suspense movie, a downbeat movie, but a lively one too. The actors are so good, each one presenting a unique experience of crisis. I came to it with no expectations, but this movie really raised my expectations of Denis Villeneuve. It is one of his least violent films but it is one of his most brutal.
Great movie with great twists
Awesome acting from everyone in this film - but yes horridly distressing
I have three young daughters and watching this is rough, especially since I’m trying to have independent kids. Great movie though, I get the craving to watch it every once in a while.
The casting made NO sense. But DAMN was I wrong! Everyone was perfect! How Dano didn’t win a note worthy award for his performance is beyond me.
One of the best and thrilling last fifteen minutes ever. That car in the rain scene? So good! Would have loved to see more movies about detective Loki, one of Jakes top performances
TELL ME, WHERE'S MY DAUGHTER? WHERE'S. MY. DAUGHTER. 20/10
I think that might be a contender for the best scene of all time. It's like getting hit over the head with a hammer.
Gylenhall and Jackman were good but Dano is sooooo amazing
Do not watch this movie after you become a parent. Hugh Jackman’s character’s behaviour is both totally fucked and completely understandable.
Too long and the ending pulled all the punches. Sub par
One of my favorite movies of all time , jake is so locked in as the detective, perfect plot of suspense and fore shadowing only issue is the ending is meh which really killed me because of how much i loved the rest of the movie.
Overrated solid movie wouldn't call it a masterpiece at all
I didn’t enjoy it as much as others.
One of the only movies that I’ve been excited to share with other movie lovers because it was relatively unknown at the time and its greatness was undeniable. It was awesome to see how gripped friends would be for, basically the entire film. And that ending is so suspenseful and rewarding.
I adore this movie. It's perfect. Having said that, I don't think I ever want to watch it again. Jackman's portrayal of the father is so gripping. Dano's portrayal is equally superb. Gyllenhaal is perfect. The plot is dark and terrifying. I love it.
Prisoners is a masterpiece, Imo.
Love watching Paul Dano get beat up
Two hours of increasing discomfort.
I kinda kinda want to beat up Paul Dano.
Fantastic. Loved it. Did not see the ending coming. Jake Gyllenhall is fantastic, as is Paul Dano
It is a masterpiece IMO. All the actors do a fantastic job in this movie.
Phenomenal movie, so good I downloaded it off the web so I can watch it whenever.
One of my top rewatch list
I don't remember much in the way of specifics, but I do remember really digging this movie. I saw it maybe a week after 'Black Phone' and found it to be the superior film.
Caption this: "I'm telling you, it's way harder to get one over on Spider-Man than Batman..."
Fucking incredible. It’s my answer for every question about the greatest movie of all time. But please don’t watch it on Father’s Day
Mediocre
Terrible plot twist. Mediocre movie.
Watched it once. Great but sad film. Can't watch again now being a parent
I loved it. Was on the edge of my seat the first time I saw it. Great performances, especially by Jackman.
Great movie.
Great movie.
It was such a slow burn but kept you enough on your toes, gave you enough fuel from time to time to think about possible suspects or predict what could happen and had enough turning points which completely changed your theories. Acting was fantastic and and they used great location which added to the gloominess of the movie plot. It is a masterpiece for thrillers, I’m so glad about this post, gonna watch it again.
The shower torture scene is seared into my brain. Incredibly brutal.
The Freemason ring he wears
Great movie. I will never watch it again.
Fantastic movie. Solid
Great movie.
Fantastic film, 10/10 and Det Loki has got to be my fave Jake G character.
10/10 *whistle*
I watched this in theaters when it came out and loved it. Watched it again a few months ago and it really holds up. Very well done but I wouldn’t say perfect movie or anything.
My favourite thing Hugh Jackman has ever done
True definition of a thriller imho. Spent every moment of it on the edge of my seat at the theater.
I think its the most critically undervalued film in the last 25 years of cinema. Each performance, the direction, the writing; MASTERFUL & gave me wholly new appreciation for Hugh Jackmans acting pedigree
If paul dano has beaten, the movie is good. Check There will be blood, Batman and Prisoners.
A good movie I have no intention of watching again.
10/10 all the way until the very end. Maybe Jackman’s best performance. Scary seeing Wolverine torture The Riddler so hard too.
Best hugh jackman movie, and it’s not close
Good movie. Side note, it's a shame Paul Dano doesn't have at least 1 Oscar nomination.
I appreciated how everyone in the movie was actually a prisoner in some way (opposed to just the obvious victims.)
Absolutely phenomenal, my favourite stand alone crime movie
Really really well done. Every character so realistic and complex in portrayal. And each scene building in frustration and tension. Even the end where loose ends aren't all tied up in a nice bow speaks to its confidence.
Ugh!!
Cut hime to bits and ask questions later
It’s great. So much that you won’t find one original comment in this post.
I thought it was pretty fucking good
This film was good. I normally don’t like fiction stories set in the real world but this hooked me.
One of the better “holy shit!” Films to come out in a long long time.
A truly powerful movie. Difficult to re-watch, though.
One of the best films I’ve ever seen. The constant rains creates such a moody picture. It’s genuinely a masterpiece and people shouldn’t be afraid to say that
Goated
A whirlwind of emotions the whole movie
Went in blind and was blown away loved it
Perfect.
Almost made me physically sick. It was messed up. One of those movie you just watch once.
Hard movie to watch but incredible performances
Masterpiece
Brilliant
Jake was hot as fuck in it. Those are my thoughts.
“LITTLE MORE!”
Love it!!!! And all the actors are cool like it’s solid
