I haven't really watched many that are both indie and psychological, they're separate areas that I've been exploring lately, and I've only just started actively looking into the psychological genre, so I don't have a lot to go on. Exam and Ex machina are both apparently classified as psychological thrillers, and I loved both of those for that aspect of it. Both Death Note movies (they're Japanese) were great for that too, especially the second film. I'll have to check out A Tale of Two Sisters just to get a bit more common ground for comparison going.
Wow, glad you liked it that much! I was busy this past weekend, unfortunately, but I'll have a little more free time soon, and I'll check out your recommendations.
If it's a good indie film of course! They cover the full gamut from bad to good, just like Hollywood.
But I'll take a great indie film that all takes place in one small set over yet another action movie. Good writing can make up for any other deficit, but nothing can compensate for a crap script.
If you can recommend any good indie pychological films, I'm in.
Well, the whole
Black Mirror series is amazing, and each episode focuses on a different story with different characters, all played by not-so-big actors. The most recent episode, released in 2014 and called "White Christmas", is 75 minutes long, so you can consider it a movie, really. You can see a trailer here:

Time Lapse I was heavily reminded of the series, and "White Christmas" is a good representation of a lot of aspects of it - in fact, there are subtle references to every other episode, so it's like what the song "Octavarium" is to the rest of its album.
If you like it, you should check out the whole series - it's only 6 other episodes, so it doesn't take much time. Apparently there will be a new, longer season released soon on Netflix.
