Looking for movies that have loneliness as a major theme. Loneliness because of not having many friends and lack of a partner. Movies like Cast Away (2000) do not fit the bill. The movie Her (2013) on the other hand, somewhat does. I am looking for a relatable (non-sci-fi) believable movie.

Control (2007) it is about the singer of Joy Division, Ian Curtis. It is a really lonely and grim looking film, shot in black and white.

Manchester By the Sea (2016) would fit the bill, I think. It centers around grief, and how grief can make a person feel alienated.
