Does being lonely due to war and it's trauma count? If yes, I can highly recommend old soviet movie Come and See - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091251/ Just don't get discouraged by country of origin, it has no effect on the movie.
That's the darkest movie of all time. You can't simply recommend it willy nilly without a disclaimer. This movie is heavy.
Indeed it is. It shows how brutal war really is. It's even more relevant today.
I'm not religious, but I literally felt what I can only describe as my soul dying and leaving a painful and heavy emptiness, during and after watching that movie.
The country of origin wouldn't discourage me personally. I even watched North Korean TV once just to see what it was like. It was really interesting!
So is the movie. It's really intense though. I mean really. It shows all the filth of war. And despite "hero" (a boy) is almost always among other people, he's in fact really lonely. Especially in his misery.
