The ones I listed above are in the bittersweet story genre -- sad and funny at the same time.

The four in the post title are just really intense and have little or no comic moments. That doesn't make them worse, really, and in fact there are often things I like better about them, but for pure viewing satisfaction, I like movies that have a little of both.

I will say that my first response to Reconstruction was that I was FINALLY seeing a movie made on dv that *should* be made on dv. The use of the medium was remarkable, I thought.
