I think the Op referred to a different type of disturbing. I agree with you sa a jaw dropping-visuale shocking serbian film is the top one, even thought I didn't think much of it, they were so busy trying to put so much violence concentrate together that forgot to give a story line to top it up the acting wasn't that great ether.
As per sycological disturbing I think martyrs are way better, and the acting if fabulous. This film is disturbing in a way of realization that this things (pedophilia) happens everyday. -

I don't know, this seemed like a dark comedy to me, the ending had me laughing uncontrollably for a whole minute. I find some Lars von Trier films or just old gory slasher flicks more uncomfortable and harder to sit through.

I just saw this film. I chose it because I have never seen a Phillip Seymour Hoffman performance that was bad-ever. And he certainly did not disappoint here, although I too found this to be an extremely disturbing film that was horrifying to watch.
If you like disturbing films, this is a good one to pick even though I almost didn't finish it; it was just too gross in some parts. Another hard-to-watch darkly disturbing film is Dogtooth. -

I wouldn't call it disturbing, just a very dark comedy. I mean, people like that actually exist in the real world, and that's just how it isit's like an insight into the uglier parts of human society. I will say, I feel like it's not as stone-cold realistic as some people say it is, it's definitely a "movie".

I think this movie is disturbing because it forces us to confront extremely uncomfortable, dark situations head on, and thus unsettles us. It also provides little to no clue as to its tone from the very beginning, creating a deeply unsettling atmosphere. Is this a comedy? A satire? A look at how bleak human existence can be? It's a little bit of everything.
I loved it, I laughed a lot, but I also find it to be a disturbing movie. -

Yes it's the most soul destroying, awful and utterly gross movie - of all time. No other film has ever left me feeling as morally depleted, sick to my stomach and sad to be a part of the human race as this film. How powerful movies are. People portrayed here are too real perhaps. I suppose its hilarious black humor is a curiosity but damn what a jolting story.

"Happiness" is a very, very funny movie, but it is also very sick and depressing. It is downright genius in the way it manages to play with the viewer's emotions while still keeping the same basic tone.

I do not classify Happiness as a "disturbing" movie. It's confrontational and remarkably frank at times, but not gratuitous. This is a movie that actually has ideas and insight, that is intelligent, and brutally honest in its assessment of our human frailties . . . in other words, its about as far from the banality of the typical Hollywood blockbuster as you can get. This is a very good film, both unique and thought provoking.
