The 10 Darkest Drama Movies, Ranked by Collider

"One of the advents of dramatic cinema is the ability to touch on dark subject material that may be hard to wrestle with otherwise. Roger Ebert is often quoted as saying that 'the movies are a machine that generates empathy,' and there's always room for disturbing films to connect with viewers who may be struggling in their personal lives. As hard as it is to watch some of these films, exploring a truly ambitious work is generally going to be advantageous to any committed moviegoer. Drama films need to be depthful and compassionate in order to justify their serious themes, as there is no point in including shocking moments purely to take the audience by surprise. While watching such dark films on a regular basis may not be beneficial to a viewer's mental health, it certainly exposes them to some astounding works of art. Here are the ten darkest drama movies, ranked." - collider.com
