The United States of Leland is one i saw recently that is pretty great. About a kid who murders a retarded child, and the families affected, and the life/psyche of the murderer.

There are a ton of movies like this that I like, most of them pretty depressing but also pretty poignant/powerful. Igby Goes Down is another one that comes to mind. Starring McCauley Culkin's little brother who comes from a very wealthy but disfunctional family, and at a young age elects to leave his home to live a quasi-bohemian life in the city.
