Group: The Schopenhauer Project (2026)

A therapy group's fragile trust shatters when a new member walks in with an agenda — Schopenhauer warned us about other people.

Crowd Score: 7/10

Who Is It For?

Fans of chamber dramas and therapy-as-narrative films like 'Ordinary People,' 'Good Will Hunting,' or 'In Treatment' will find this right-sized. If you appreciate indie films where the drama comes from conversation rather than action, and you're curious about Schopenhauer's philosophy of suffering applied to group dynamics, this is worth seeking out.
