Well the closest I can think of is Moxie and The Duff, unless you are willing to broaden out to things like Ladybird, Ghost World, Real Women have Curves, The Edge of Seventeen, Eighth Grade, We Are The Best, Sunny

Kind of lose interest in it after seeing Homer Hickam's social media activities more recently. Dude pulled the ladder up after him big time

Reply to Is there a reason why no director redo a movie (based on a book) that have already failed in box office ? by Otherwise-Revenue-44
Many directors remake their own successful work.
Many directors remake other director's unsuccessful work.
But it seems unusual for Hollywood to give directors money to remake their own unsuccessful work.

It doesn't really fit here but- I Really Wanna Stay at Your House, in Cyberpunk Edgerunners.
Probably heard the song a hundred times during the game and never thought anything of, now it strikes a sublimely painful chord.
The Utada Hikaru versions of Fly Me to the Moon and the other songs in the Evangelion remakes.
That System of a Down song in The One with Jet Li.

The specific form of "mystical" power which Justine has is precognition. And she's always had it. That's the root of her depression: She knows how things are doomed to run their course...always.
That's why she agrees to get married and throws the big gathering, even though she knows the world is going to end and she doesn't really love her husband. She wants to get everyone who is important to her (her family and business associates) together in one place, so she can finally confront them one final time.
She believes everything is meaningless, and that there will be nothing after the End of The World. So she decides to be cruel and ruthless in addressing existence, and telling people exactly what she thinks of them.
But the point of the entire film is that, when it comes down to the Big Crash, she doesn't have it in her to torture her innocent nephew with "Reality." Instead, she comes to recognize the sustaining power of Family Connectedness --as she helps construct a "magical protective cave of branches" on the golf course in which she sits with her nephew and sister, holding hands and commiserating as their existence ends.
And the opening sequence which shows us her precognitive Dream of The End actually reveals that she might be wrong about there being Nothingness in aftermath.
The big Clue to that being the case is that, in that opening premonition, Justine is carrying a golf flag --for the 19th Hole. There are, of course, only 18 Holes on a golf course. So perhaps there's another "whole" that she can't understand or "know."

One of my guilty pleasure movies for sure. I watch this movie once a year probably. It’s got some real heart in there. The teachers journey. Chris Cooper standing up for the Jakes friend and beating up on the drunk step father gives me goosebumps just thinking about the scene. Love this movie. Damn it. Now I have to watch it again.

Reply to Donnie Darko directors cut by Just2epical
It's not just that it drags, the directors cut changes songs, messed with the tone, and spells things out that were originally mysterious. One of the worst directors cuts you could possibly watch.
