A Horrible Woman.
There probably are worse movies out there, but I always like to give this movie its flowers.
It's a Danish film about a couple who meet, fall in love and begin living together. The woman in the relationship turns out to be a passive aggressive manipulator, who slowly takes over his life and essentially holds him hostage in the relationship.
It freaked me the fuck out the first time I watched it, because I have been in an abusive relationship in the past with a man who was also very manipulative and verbally abusive. It's the type of invisible abuse that gradually chips away at who you are and it is very hard to stop it once the ball starts rolling.
They have the nerve to call it a black comedy, haha. It's genuinely so uncomfortable because the woman in the movie is unpredictable at all times and the actress plays her masterfully.
