You love someone who cannot quite accept it. You have watched them deflect, minimize, disappear inside themselves at the exact moment you get close, and you have bent yourself around that pattern in ways you are only beginning to notice. You know, intellectually, that you cannot love someone into a self-belief they don't have. You stay anyway, or you think about them anyway, or you circle the question of what to do with love that has nowhere clean to land. These films are not a therapist and they know it. But they have a way of holding this particular knot up to the light.
A man refuses all assistance from his daughter as he ages and, as he tries to make sense of his changing circumstances, he begins to doubt his loved ones, his own mind and even the fabric of his reality.
It will not give you the tools your therapist would. It will get closer to the real question than the loop in your head has managed so far.
