Curator’s note

It's okay not to be okay

These films don’t offer easy answers and they don’t tie things up neatly. They simply sit with their characters through the difficult parts, and there is real comfort in watching someone else be honest about struggling.

The Klipist editors

Frequently asked

What is this collection about?

Films about the days that are harder than others: depression, anxiety, grief and loneliness, told with honesty and, often, unexpected warmth.

Is it heavy going?

These films sit with difficult feelings, but most of them land somewhere hopeful. They are made to make you feel less alone, not worse.

Should I watch if I am struggling right now?

These films can be comforting company, but they are not a substitute for support. If you are in a difficult place, please reach out to someone you trust or a local helpline.

Is it free to watch?

Yes. Every film on Klipist is free to watch, in full, on any device. No account needed, though signing up lets you keep a watchlist.
