When Netflix senses your emotional slump

Netflix smells sadness, like how dogs smell fear. Suddenly, it only suggests tear-jerking dramas, incurable illnesses, and orphaned children. And you accept. After all, you're not in the mood for a silly comedy either.

Marriage Story

Scarlett and Adam (Nicole and Charlie) part ways while keeping up appearances. You cry over a divorce that isn't yours and end up checking your old messages as if it made any sense. Bravo, cinema.

One Day

A couple meets one day a year, with no cell phones, apparently. It starts out as a quirky romance but ends as a devastating drama... And you swallow it all, of course.

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind

A boy in Malawi invents a windmill to save his village, when you can’t even know how to use the banking app. Very inspiring, but also quite humiliating if you think about it too much.

Violet and Finch

Two emotionally broken youths meet. Bad idea, but beautiful film. You end up crying not for them, but because you too were young and dramatic once.

Tick, Tick... Boom!

Andrew Garfield sings and cries. You just cry. The true story of a guy who didn’t make it before dying. Very much our generation: talent, anxiety, and an unforgiving clock.

Okja

A girl tries to save her genetically modified pig. The system is stronger than affection. You cry. Then you eat meat anyway, because we are consistent until when we're hungry.

Pieces of a Woman

The first scene knocks you out. The rest is just a quiet descent down a slope of pain. Vanessa Kirby is immense. And you, emotionally shattered, without knowing why you keep watching.

Paddleton

Mark Duplass and Ray Romano cope with precooked pizzas and very few words. Almost nothing happens... but you sit there, staring at the void, not knowing what to do with the sorrow.
