Have you seen something sadder? I haven't, well maybe Cannibal Holocaust, but that is a very exploitative film.. Okay those two are the most depressing films that made me feel sad after and while watching them.
How about you guys/gals?

There's the 2009 adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road. It's an end of the world story. Clouds of ash have blocked out the sun for years, most of the animals and crops are gone, and cannibalism is rampant. The book won a Pulitzer Prize.
shareThe Road. Oh my goodness. That book was awful…excellent…but man does it hurt to read. I still think this is a sadder story because there is an absolute absence of hope. The Road had a tiny bit. This story has none.
shareYou nailed it. 2 hours of getting kicked in the gut, but I couldn't look away. Great movie.
shareNo, there's some hope at the end of The Road.
I've seen things that would make you want to write a book on how to puke.
Lilya 4-Ever tops any list, imho.
shareThis film is way sad...

I thought Never Let Me Go was life-affirming and of extraordinary beauty, and, thus, not depressing in the least. Sad, poignant, heart-wrenching, but not depressing.
shareAbsolutely!
Just finished watching it and powerful and gripping as it was, it was one of those movies that you know is gonna make you feel sad for the rest of the day. I only hope that the human race never sinks so low as to allow a scenario like this.
I agree, possibly the most heart-breaking film of all time.
