Replace a Psychologist's Session: 10 Really Good Movies About Relationships (11 photos)

Modern relationships are a complex and intriguing phenomenon. Today, in the age of technology, all kinds of freedoms, and various stereotypes, love and friendship have a completely different meaning than they did in our parents' time. We offer a list of 10 relationship films that can be compared to a session with a therapist.





A Bigger Splash



A bored rock star hides away from the world in a luxurious Italian villa with her husband. But suddenly, her producer friend and lover joins them, along with his pretty daughter. But this isn't a light comedy about a complicated vacation romance, but a compelling four-person drama about how unbearable it is to be in a situation where everyone is confused.

"Brooklyn"





This film is about how difficult it is to make the right decision in youth, especially if you were raised strictly, are religious, have no one to consult with, no phones, and no heart-to-heart talks with your mother. If you've ever had to make a difficult choice and faced doubts about the correctness of it, you'll enjoy watching this film.

"Carol"



The film looks like a stylized take on old Hollywood, but don't expect old-fashioned primness—beneath the elegant form lies a content full of life and drama. This is a film about beautiful, sincere, yet forbidden love. Does society have the right to tell us who and when to love? If you deny your feelings, following unwritten rules, aren't you sacrificing yourself in the process?

"Colonia Dignidad" (Colonia)



The film turns stereotypes on their head: its heroine rushes to save her lover, who has been imprisoned in the secret torture center "Dignidad." You don't need to be a history buff to watch it; you just need to love Emma Watson, who plays the lead role. This may be your last chance to see her on the big screen for a while, as the actress has announced a break from filming to work for feminism. The film opens in theaters on March 31.

"Friends" (Les deux amis)



This light and beautiful French drama about a love triangle hits our screens at the end of March. The film tells the story of two best friends, one of whom helps the other win the heart of a girl. But the girl has a secret, which she carefully guards…

"Love, Rosie" (Love, Rosie)



This film explores the idea that friendship between a girl and a boy doesn't exist. This controversial topic is always relevant. The film's creators have created a sweet, heartfelt story about two friends who once misunderstood each other and were too young to talk. Life subsequently pushed them further apart, but old feelings don't always fade. All of this reminds us of the importance of talking, rather than expecting someone to guess and understand you without words.

"Men, Women & Children"



The film's creators' main goal is to show how the internet has changed the concept of relationships, family values, and communication in general. The chasm of misunderstanding between fathers and children, between partners and friends, has become so common that it's crucial to bring this to the public's attention. This film is profound, thought-provoking, and not just entertaining. And for young people "infected" with the internet, it's a must-see!

"Love" (Love)



This is perhaps the most honest film about love in world cinema. Perhaps for the first time, the director explores this theme so closely, without hesitation, using the most brutal methods of shock. The protagonist's love is a painful passion, bursting to the surface after minor suspicions of infidelity and finding an outlet in reciprocal infidelity.

"128 Heartbeats Per Minute" (We Are Your Friends)



This is a sweet musical film about the creative development of an ordinary guy with remarkable musical talent. It also touches on the topic of relationships: who to choose—the one and only—or a crowd of admirers. Or how friends' relationships change when one becomes successful. But we highly recommend not watching it on a quiet family evening, as by the end you'll be dancing and then wanting to go to a club—no doubt about that.

"Demolition" (Demolition)



A motivational film about starting a new life. The protagonist's wife dies. To understand his life and his feelings, he decides to philosophize with a hammer: literally destroying and breaking everything around him in order to rebuild himself and his life.

"The Past" (El pasado)



Sofia and Rimini had been in love since early youth. They married and lived together for twelve years, seeming like the perfect couple. But it turned out that even such a beautiful story could have a tragic ending. The day came when Rimini realized he no longer loved Sofia. He wanted to start a new life without her.
