Not sure if it is bleaker, but i agree it's in the same category. If the idea of the movie night is to distract someone from loss, The Banshees of Inshireen is not going to help at all.

If they haven't seen Everything Everywhere all at once, i think that one would actually help for a few reasons. If you are ok watching a movie that didn't come out last year and want a comedy, there are a lot of options. I personally always enjoy watching the Big Sick or Little Miss Sunshine whenever I'm sad.
