These films were chosen by the Moviepiq editorial team for when being needed by someone who doesnt see you. No forced resolution. These films sit with the feeling rather than rush past it.
Films for when you are load-bearing in someone's life and they look right through you to the next thing they need.

You are load-bearing in this person's life and they look right through you to the next thing they need, and you have found that the most sustainable response is to find it a little bit funny, because the alternative is something you don't currently have the bandwidth for. The irony helps you stay. It also keeps the truth at the right distance. These films are about people who provide and are not provided for, and they will look at you directly in a way the other person doesn't.
