20 Character-Driven Movies Worth Checking Out (MovieWeb)

"Movies transport us to new worlds and allow us to look at the same world from someone else's perspective. But while many movies rely on outstanding special effects, elaborate set pieces, and suspenseful narratives, some of the most memorable movies are those with deeply flawed yet insanely human characters. Rather than simply taking us along for the ride, these special gems invite us to peek into the inner workings of a protagonist's mind. We experience their highs and lows in an intimate way by just spending a couple of hours with them. The focus is not so much on what happens to them in every moment but on the kind of person they reveal themselves to be throughout their transformation in the movie. While satisfying plots are still necessary to make a story engaging, truly great character studies are what make a movie stand out. From subtle gestures to meaningful developments, the movies on this list showcase the rich cinematic journey of their characters." - movieweb.com
