But it's still right, ultimately, and the end was very beautifully acted.
If anyone has any other heartwarmingly nihilistic films to suggest, lay 'em on me.

That's a very unique subgenre, haha... American Beauty comes to mind, but too bad it's tarnished by Kevin Spacey.
I started to put a list together and realized that it might be Charlie Kaufman's specific niche. It's been a while since I saw most of these, but I believe they could all fit:
Being John Malkovich
Adaptation.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Synecdoche, New York
Anomalisa
I'm Thinking of Ending Things
Paul Thomas Anderson maybe too with Magnolia and Punch-Drunk Love.
