Comedy and drama movies that hit you when you’re over 30

The feeling of growing up in a world that stops at nothing is something you understand a little better as you get older. Finding your place in the world is not an easy thing, and that’s what these comedy and drama films are about, that you will surely be able to understand and see things that, otherwise, you would not if you were under 30 years old.

What do we mean by comedy and drama movies that hit you when you’re over 30 is to the story of ‘Her’, directed by Spike Jonze. It is a writer of letters to other people, played by Joaquin Phoenix, who feels alone in an increasingly crowded world where interpersonal relationships are increasingly distant. Available on Amazon Prime Video.

Manchester by the sea

Also to the history of this drama film about growing up as well as “Manchester by the Sea”. Casey Affleck plays Lee, a man who, after his brother’s death, must return to the town where he grew up, where he must take care of his teenage nephew, and relive a past that haunts him and reminds him why he left in the first place. Available on Claro, YouTube and Amazon Prime Video.

Moonlight

The perfect definition of a film that affects those over 30 years old is ‘Moonlight’. It’s a drama in which a young man named Chiron lives in the middle of a troubled city, but as he grows up he realizes that the biggest obstacle will be accepting himself, with all the pain and beauty that goes with it.

Though it is a superhero film on the surface, ‘Spiderman 2’ is at heart a drama about a boy coming of age.

Available on Netflix.

The whale

When you turn 30, there are a lot of obligations, payments, debts, and all sorts of things that you hadn’t even considered before. And a lot of those issues keep you away from people, like Brendan Fraser’s character in “The Whale,” an online professor who’s obese and hasn’t left his apartment. But now he wants to win back the love of his daughter, whom he has kept away for a long time.
