De La Merde Déprimante, 7ème Parte

I recommend you see part 1 of my Depressing Shit series and read my original disclaimer here; now here's installment 7.

This post practically wrote itself. I added The Ambassador on Nerdflix, and all these got recommended to me. They must think I'm a glutton (or a gluten??) for punishment. They're at least partly right-- I plan to watch some of them.
Satan help me.

Rosetta (Netflix sez: "Desperate to escape the wretched trailer she shares with her alcoholic mother, 18-year-old Rosetta (Emilie Dequenne, who won Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival) goes through many trials in an attempt to find a job -- or even a friend. This powerful Belgian film's stark portrayal of poverty led to a change in the teen labor laws of that country. Rosetta received an Independent Spirit Award nomination and won the Cannes Golden Palm.")

Depressing Shit, Part 6; just morsels this time

I recommend you see part 1 of my Depressing Shit series and read my original disclaimer here; now here's installment 6.

Mere crumbs, this installment, but maybe that means the world is running out of depressing shit!   (Insert sounds of choking and spitting out a mouthful of beverage.)


Movies:

Harry Brown (Just see if you can make it through the first 5 minutes! And then there's MORE!)

Nil By Mouth (Netflix describes it thusly: "Acclaimed actor Gary Oldman makes his directorial debut with this searing drama, which tracks the lives of residents barely surviving in notorious South London, where everyone is striving to escape a drug-addled world of crushing poverty." I decided not to see this.)
