Can anyone recommend a movie similar to The Fall or The Father that has a theme of spiraling confusion? (leminal.space)

It's a bit hard to describe but I felt like both had moments of spiraling confusion with the protagonist watching their worlds fall apart around them that I found really captivating.

I'm trying to think of other examples but The Fall and The Father are ones that came to mind. They are both fantastic films I'd highly recommend.

[email protected] mentioned mother! (2017) which was the other example that was on the tip of my tongue.

Shutter Island, maybe?

I saw it when it came out and didn't think that much of it, then rewatched it a few months ago and really got taken along on its tide.

Do you think Shutter Island relies heavily on a twist? I feel like I've heard how the movie ends

Yeah unquestionably it does. It certainly doesn't build in the same way The Father does for instance, but I think on a rewatch (and therefore knowing the twist) it becomes more about a gradual unravelling of Leo's perceptions.
