I've just seen Babylon today. There are a few crying scenes by Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, and Diego Calva all throughout the film. Margot Robbie's ones are the most interesting as they show how the crying parts are made in movies. It seems like she pays a tribute to the Crying Lovers forum. Brad Pitt has a short break down at some point but his face isn't shown on display. And Diego Calva has another breakdown towards the end. He's shown through the whole process of crying from tears welling up in his eyes to actually sobbing and then in the aftermath.

Oh I'm def gonna have to check these out. The scene at the end of Babylon sounds lovely, and I've seen Sam Worthington do decent crying before (in The Shack, for anyone interested. I think I posted the scenes a while back).
Babylon just needs to be streaming already!
 

Nick Blood has about 3 breaking-down scenes in The Offering. They are quite short but effective in terms of crying as he takes short breaths and looks as if he struggles not to cry . In two of them, he's also shown being comforted while crying.

Colin Farrell does understated tears twice in The Banshees of Inisherin. The first scene is about 43 minutes in where he gets beat up by a cop and Brenden Gleeson wordlessly helps him up onto his cart and takes him home. The second is about 1:26:00 where he discovers his beloved donkey has died. He scrunches up his eyebrows and takes the short breaths and tries very hard not to cry.

Tom Pelphrey has two interesting crying scenes in American Murderer. One is at 17:09 and the other at about 1:13:00. They're quite short and a bit different than those from Ozarkbut effective nevertheless.
