The 15 Most Emotionally Devastating Movies That Are Heavy and Impactful

Looking for a movie that'll stir up deep, heavy feelings? These emotionally devastating movies are the ones to watch.
Most of the time, we watch movies for two reasons: laughs and thrills. Everything from action to comedy to horror to mystery to suspense falls under these two cinematic emotions.
But every so often, there comes a film that doesn't care to deliver on either of those emotions.
Instead, this kind of film just wants to grip your soul and make you feel things that aren't as common to the cinematic experience: tears, grief, sympathy, heartbreak.
Here are some of the most emotionally devastating movies that are dramatic, heavy, and heartbreaking.
