I have two movies to add:
In the mood for love (2000)- A lot of similarities between the two movies
Ikuru (1952) - lonliness is a key theme in both and falling in love with someone younger- both are heartbreaking. -

I found Anomalisa to be very similar in some regards.
Both are about a depressed man, completely alienated from their families.
Both men are fairly successful in their respective fields of work.
Both are staying in a hotel, spending their nights in the bar, lonely until they find a woman they form a special connection with.
And in both cases it doesn't last.
"Hold on, boys! I, for one, would like to hear what the blood-spattered young lady has to say." -
