A movie focused on one person, where the pacing is just right, so you can think along with them, be in their shoes. It doesn't have to be silent - the character could be talking to themselves in their room for 20 minutes. A scene like that exposes someone, as opposed when people are in the company of others, and have to act a certain way depending on the person.

I just saw a very good movie, "The Worst Person in the World", and she's the center of the movie, crises, but without the twists and turns. It felt very natural flowing, without explosions or overly dramatic scenes. It was very subdued and not that predictable. Although I knew what was on the character's mind, I wouldn't mind if there were a few scenes where she's unsure, or if the audience isn't unsure... One user critic described it as an existential crisis on film relatable to many 40-year olds who are trying to adjust to a world much different than the ones we were born in. The internet changed the world, but who's to say things would have worked out if it wasn't invented. People still have many of the same problems they did a thousand years ago.

And then when you add music from the 60/70s, it's going to make the movie better, especially two very good songs by Harry Nilsson.
