"Life Drama" Movies
Life dramas, sometimes known as Slice of life dramas, focus on what would be considered the little things in life. Some example are friendships at school, finding your footing at work, etc. These films tend to put as much focus on the emotions of the characters as the actual plot. If the emotions tend to be particularly taxing, then they are sometimes called Psychological Dramas.
