Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont (2005)

Utterly charming movie about a widow relocating to a hotel for older residents to be nearer her only grandson, who doesn't care to be near her. No matter since she finds a friend in young Ludo (Rupert Friend -- simply lovely) who is happy to play the part of her grandson, both for the other residents and because he enjoys her company.

Made me hopeful about humanity in general -- I love a movie that can pull that off.
