    The Listeners

    IMDb 5.3

    Why this fits: The Listeners and We Are All Trying Here both lean on private doubt, where tension comes from what a person can’t prove to anyone else. Watch a woman’s isolation and fear build in quiet domestic scenes, with the uncanny creeping in without spectacle, then contrast it with We Are All Trying Here’s more inward, jealousy-driven stagnation.

    Deeper cut

    TV 2 Play · Oct 23, 2025

    Nepobaby

    Why this fits: Nepobaby turns class conflict and marriage pressure into a tight, family-centered psychological squeeze, with money distorting every promise. Next to We Are All Trying Here’s unhurried self-reflection and jealousy and isolation, this one feels more externally driven by mother-daughter power and social status.

    You and Everything Else

    IMDb 7.7

    Why this fits: You and Everything Else leans into best-friend romance where friendship rivalry and love vs envy create constant emotional friction.

    Deeper cut

    Netflix · Jun 4, 2026

    The Witness

    Why this fits: The Witness is a slow-burn crime drama built around ordinary man silence, where guilt and consequence pile up after a single choice. If We Are All Trying Here stays with inner peace journey and unhurried self-reflection, this one escalates into danger and desperate choices tied to a 1990s real-life case.

    • slow-burn crime drama
    • 1990s real-life case
