Other similarly intense films?


Since Whiplash is one of my all-time favorite films and is also possibly the most intense film I've seen, I was wondering if there were any other films that had a similar level of intensity.

I did some searching on my own for this but haven't found any of the commonly mentioned films to be as intense (and I had already seen them) which include Prisoners, Sicario, No Country for Old Men.

A Separation (2011), I remember it as being intense and having conflict, though the subject matter is entirely different. Also The Hunt (2012) is intense af.

I would definately say Requiem for a dream

"Open Hearts"

Different topic, but very intense and with deep characters.

yes, Sicario is definitely intense as hell. The closest thing I get to intense moments would be:
The Dark Knight
se7en
NightCrawler
The Witch
The Girl with Dragon Tattoo
The Raid
The Raid 2
Red Dragon
The Silence of Lambs
Training Day
True Detective Season 1 (for recent TV series, it's worth it)
