I’m such a visual empath. Watching films is a pure delight for me, but I can’t tolerate loud or terrifying movies with big explosions.

I’m not alone; many empaths are often overwhelmed by violent, fast-paced, or loud movies. Even the actors can be too loud. Instead, sensitive people tend to love heartwarming movies, so I want to share a few more movies that I love.

Here are my updated recommendations for empath-friendly films. By this, I mean films that are inspirational, sometimes magical, and filled with love of the Earth and its creatures, as well as friendships and all of humankind. These are not violent, loud, or action thrillers. Their pace is slower, richer, and leaves space for your imagination to roam to creative, beautiful places.

I hope you enjoy these films, too, and that they bring peace, upliftment, and enchantment to your life.
