When we think of films about relationships, I’m sure for most of us the first impression that comes to mind is the standard Rom-Com set-up – Person A meet Person B, there’s an instant attraction, they date, they break-up and then some grand sweeping gesture brings them back together. However, films focused on personal connections aren’t always destined to display sweet relationships designed to make your heart flutter (although one of today’s picks does a good job of that!), some will make you sick to your stomach, whilst others will make you so uncomfortable you can’t bear to watch.
