clerks, "I'm not even supposed to be here today" not really struggle just the mindless tedium.
Nomadland
My film recommendation: The Florida Project. It follows a young girl and her single mother struggling to make it in Kissiimee, Florida (where Disney World is). Most of us would think living beside Disney World would be amazing but there is a darker underside of poverty. I have heard the film described as 'poverty porn' but I thought it was a fair depiction.
I love slice of life films and this is one of my favourites.
The wire
Requiem for a Dream
Trainspotting
They said struggle, not living in a nightmare!
Not a movie but Netflix miniseries - MAID
Non-spoiler summary: Single mother fleeing abusive relationship with nothing but $18 in her pocket.
That show gave me anxiety every episode and it was fantastic.
So this one isn't necessarily about the poverty and struggle, but it definitely feels like a character in the life of the main protagonist: Blue Ruin
(action/suspense film, but mc lives in a car)
one of my favorite realistic revenge movies. super slow burn and pretty close to reality as I imagine a person would/could do
Midnight cowboy
Good call.
Our Idiot Brother
Man Push Cart, it's about an immigrant trying to make ends meet while living in NYC.
Everything Must Go was pretty good, and a more dramatic role for Will Ferrell.
Darkon is a documentary about LARPing. I think that oughta cover all aspects.
