Can anyone recommend a movie similar to The Fall or The Father that has a theme of spiraling confusion? (leminal.space)

It's a bit hard to describe but I felt like both had moments of spiraling confusion with the protagonist watching their worlds fall apart around them that I found really captivating.

I'm trying to think of other examples but The Fall and The Father are ones that came to mind. They are both fantastic films I'd highly recommend.

frefi@lemmy.dbzer0.com mentioned mother! (2017) which was the other example that was on the tip of my tongue.

Shutter Island, maybe?

I saw it when it came out and didn't think that much of it, then rewatched it a few months ago and really got taken along on its tide.

Do you think Shutter Island relies heavily on a twist? I feel like I've heard how the movie ends

Yeah unquestionably it does. It certainly doesn't build in the same way The Father does for instance, but I think on a rewatch (and therefore knowing the twist) it becomes more about a gradual unravelling of Leo's perceptions.
