Why are so many recent movies obsessed with lonely men?
In this video, I take a look at Obsession (2026), Companion (2025), and Don't Worry Darling (2022), exploring how each film deals with male loneliness, modern masculinity, obsession, relationships, and the desire for control and connection. Whether intentional or not, these movies reflect some of the same fears and frustrations that have fueled conversations around the manosphere and the male loneliness epidemic.
