Beau is Afraid was the last one I recall. I think it was mostly the latter half of the movie where I started to get a bit confused and needed the ending explained to me.


What movies made you look up some kind of explanation afterwards? I feel like I have done it several times in the past for more surreal movies but can’t think of any other examples.

It can also be a TV show.

    As soon as I read the title of this post, I knew that Primer would be one of the first comments.

    You are not alone, that is the hardest time loop movie to wrap your head around.

      12 Angry Men. Gen X kid here, not my style, B&W a fair bit before my time, too old.

      My god. Put it on for a lark before bedtime on a worknight. Far too tired, stayed up all the way through, suffered the next day. Worth it.

      If OP had asked, “Name a movie you couldn’t put down?” or “What’s a movie that sucked you in and you had no choice to stop?” Yeah. That one.

      Mainly because it’s so accurately done. It truly shows how insane it can get and it’s made worse by all the people violating their own “rules” repeatedly
