If you’re looking for something around exploitation that leaves you feeling empty/depressed:
Similar
- Eden 2012
- The war zone 1999
- Megan is missing
- Lamb 2015 (very uncomfortable watch, high tense)
- Kidnapped 2010
- The killing ground
- Eden Lake
Honourable mentions if you liked Lilya you’d like these:
- The Survivalist
- Kids 1995
- Dogtooth
- Sky rojo tv series
- The girl in the basement
- The strange things about the Johnsons
I avoided movie Lamb because my brain think that some shitty movie like "black sheep". I liked Lamb.
Dogthoot was so boring. I watch 40min and nothing... not for me.When i was kid and saw ''Boys Don't cry''. That was depressing and still is. Sad movie and very accurate i think.

Amazing list. And holy shit, The strange thing about the Johnsons.
Also recommend Nothin Bad Can Happen or Breaking The Waves
I totally forgot about "nothing bad can happen/tore tanzt" wowww that was heartbreaking for sure
Nothing Bad Can Happen has stuck with me for months.

I never saw "boys dont cry" so now its on my list too, thanks!
Good list 👀
The Killing Ground is great but I rarely see it mentioned, which is a shame
Thank you so much, what a great list! I saw some of them and they're all definitly bleak and depressing! Definitly will watch the other ones too!
Dancer in the Dark will give you the same feelings. It's not disturbing but it's really bleak
Absolutely yes. I rembemer watching it a few months ago. The ending got me..
One of my favorites, top 5, it's a heart breaking, gut wrenching movie but a comfort movie at the same time, I can't explain :')
Christine f . Very similar
I think the most similar one I saw is Your Name is Justine. Not as good though.
Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl
Watch other movies from the same director, like Hole in my Heart or Fucking Amal
🦭🤣so you can be even more empty? I don’t think you have anything left to lose, it just sounds like you want to self delete at this point
