Grave of the Fireflies. I figured out what was in the tin and immediately turned it off, I was not willing to put myself through that and I'm still not. It makes me well up just thinking about it, and I haven't even watched it. Brutal.

Nothing. The most emotionally overwhelming thing I saw was 'Breaking the waves' but I just finished it.

I didn't stop but 1917 was very intense for me. I felt emotionally and physically drained after watching it in the cinema.

Worm? Is that a movie?

It's a webfic set in a universe where people get superpowers by going through psychological trauma. It's a fucked up world and the protagonist is a fucked up person as a result
