The 16 Saddest Movies on Netflix That Will Have You Bawling Like a Baby

Set in the early 1970s in Mexico City, Roma is a semibiographical take on the life of Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuarón (who also produced, coedited, and shot the film), following a formative year in the life of a middle-class family and their live-in housekeeper. It's not only a gorgeous film — it's also a total heartbreaker.
