Films and TV shows that feel like Black Star by Radiohead

A weary, hazy ache of low self-worth and fading love, where everything feels off-kilter and you are quietly begging not to be left alone with your own gloom.

1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004): A love gone wrong and the lingering ache of two people who cannot quite stay together or let go.
2. Lost in Translation (2003): Hazy, jet-lagged alienation and quiet connection in a place where nothing feels quite real.
3. Submarine (2011): Awkward, gloomy British youth and wobbly love set against grey Welsh coastal skies.
4. Garden State (2004): A numbed, medicated drifter slowly feeling something again, soaked in wistful indie melancholy.
5. Blue Valentine (2010): The slow, painful unravelling of a relationship, tender and bruising at once.
6. The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012): Introspective 90s outsider longing, depression and fragile belonging with a mixtape soul.
7. Normal People (2020): Two people circle each other, hurting and needing each other, wrapped in lonely self-doubt.
8. Fleabag (2016): A British woman covering deep self-loathing and grief with brittle wit, unraveling in the quiet moments.
