Hungry Hearts (2015)

Jude and Mina meet cute and are soon married with a baby on the way. Early on in the pregnancy, Mina has a hard time finding her appetite and rejects the intervention of medical experts, assuring Jude that natural is the way to go. After the birth, Mina becomes obsessive about shielding the child from the world at large -- and Jude’s concerns are met with accusations that he doesn’t trust her to know what’s best for their son. Jude’s drive to protect his son is at war with his desire to support his wife as she seems to drift further from reason.

It sort of plays like a horror movie, but it’s also like nothing else I’ve ever seen. There was almost always a feeling of being a bit off-kilter, which was incredibly effective. A haunting story with another terrific performance by Adam Driver.
