    Pheww this mood i have right now has the right potential of turning this question into a detailed review about this movie. But I cant speak and all i have got is tears.
    My question
    : Please give me the names of the movies that are similar to this in sense of :

    1. Dark Humor.
    2. Dialog delivery.
    3. Performance.
    4. The Drama.
    5. The Direction.
      This is to all the imdb professionals who are filled with passion and experience of different genres.I am begging for it.
      Here are some of those movies who helped me get into the same mood :
      Glengarry Glen Ross
      Black Swan

      For the dark humour and family angst, what about secrets and lies, Mike Leigh?

            Re. SECRETS & LIES, absolutely YES! Great movie, with heartbreaks and tearful laughter galore. Timothy Spall won me for all time with that performance, and I hope he wins the Oscar this coming round (looking forward to seeing MR. TURNER when it opens here).
            Multiplex: 100+ shows a day, NONE worth watching. John Sayles' latest: NO distribution. SAD.

                I KID you not, I watched Secret and Lies 2 days ago. Then I watched this today lol. JUST crazy coincidence. They were both on cable. I seen Secrets and Lies back in 1996 and this was my second time. I didnt remember that much of it so it was a nice surprise to see it on again. I still liked it. I liked this too, but its not for everyone.

                    Also SOPHIES CHOICE. Devastating story. For me it's the best performance by an actress ever.

                      honestly i might be offending many but i didnt like sophies choice at all.
                      And to be very frank i couldnt even complete watching the movie. i left it at 3/4th and i seriously dont know why???!
                      And if you must insist i could still give it another try.
                      Your efforts are appreciated

                        I STILL haven't watched Sophie's Choice. My sister told me about it, so I knew it was not a movie I'd like. I don't like war movies AT ALL, and this one sounded absolutely like something I'd obsess over, and lose a couple of weeks of sleep about, more so because all that unimaginable horror really took place. I also haven't watched Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, Pearl Harbor, or Defiance, just to name a few. It doesn't mean that they're not good; they're just not for me. You shouldn't feel the need to apologize for not liking a movie, or even for not wanting to see it in the first place. Who go out of your way to watch a movie that you know is going to upset or depress you? I've seen Lone Survivoronceand won't watch it a 2nd time. Just too real. I've also seen Steel Magnolias, The Color Purple, and Always MANY times, and can expect a couple of days of sadness or depression for each one. Those are the four gut-wrenchers I've allotted myself. My mother calls this my "head-in-the-sand" approach to movie-watching. LOL I just call it self-defense.
                        If you couldn't make it the the last quarter of Sophie's Choice, I do not recommend that you try it again. It hasn't changed, so unless you have, it'll still suck (for you) when you try to watch it again.
                        If I had a dollar for every time I got distractedOh, look!! A puppy!!
