Maybe. I just don't get it when people say they found the movie depressing. Like the stuff that happens to the mom would be depressing if it really happened, but it's presented as if she is the butt of the joke. So I'm not about to jump from that to "real feels" about any other characters I guess.

Requiem is super fucking depressing. Epic film, but I never want to see it again.
Check out Bad Boy Bubby on Prime. It's a brutal film for about 35 minutes then just builds and gets better and better from there. It was filmed in the early 90's, so the quality is not amazing, but the plot is epic. I will however repeat, the first 35 minutes are brutal, so stick with it.

Yeah I guess I just was not primed to give a shit about any of the characters, so I didn't really find it depressing.
Brutal like disturbing?

Bubby is disturbing to some, hard to watch for others. I'd say look at the wikipedia but really you should just watch the movie if you are interested in doing so. The movie is setup with a very tough and conflicted scenario from the get go, it's hard to know if you should be rooting for or against the main character.
I can send a unique download link if you don't have Prime. I have shared this movie with many people. It falls somewhere on the film noire sort side, but not really. Being a Australian (maybe NZ, sorry if I have mixed this up) flick it never got much press here. I do think it precedes some of the more notable films of similar styles, but certainly does so with more vulgarity and less class. Exactly how it should be done, IMO.
A movie of similar style is Buzzard, though it's far more modern, and more of a grind in a lot of ways. Buzzard certainly has it's moments though.

From some of what I'm reading I think it probably would not be my style.

Everybody says that and then most people come out saying how it's one of the best movies they have ever seen, but that the first 35 minutes were brutal. It's a tough setup with great follow through.

Think of it as a Forest Gump type film where they actually address the monstrosity of the world as it exists (or exists in some scenarios). I love Forest Gump by the way, but Bubby is much truer to reality, for better or for worse.

Don't encourage Feevers. His mom says he eats too much rotisserie chicken.
