    The main character is an unemployed mathematician with schizoid personality disorder whose social interactions are mostly with his old professor and the people in his apartment building. The movie is a thriller, but the main character’s isolation from the rest of the world is rather stark. This is helped by the fact that it was filmed in high-contrast black and white.

      Every movie written by Charlie Kaufman has elements of loneliness and they are all excellent

    It’s been a while since I’ve seen it but Cast Away is about being stranded all alone and dealing with loneliness. I have a feeling this isn’t what you had in mind.

    The Perks of Being a Wallflower is one of my favorite movies. Although he’s not without friends the entire movie, I think you might still appreciate it.

    The new Joker movie is definitely worth the mention. Although depressing, I really appreciated the movie. It’s not actually a superhero movie in case that’s deterring you from watching it.

    Although I haven’t seen it yet, Lost In Translation is near the top of my watchlist. It might be up your alley.

    Maybe not quite what you’re looking for but Tom Hanks in “A Man Called Otto” might float your boat.

      • I’m not religious, but I literally felt what I can only describe as my soul dying and leaving a painful and heavy emptiness, during and after watching that movie.

    “A Silent Voice” (anime movie) is my go-to when I want to feel profound emotions, even if it’s crying about the fact that all my friends are hundreds of miles away or dead now and I apparently forgot how to make new ones.
