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

Nora's Will (2010)

aka: Five Days Without Nora

Divorced woman in her 60s commits suicide, but is sure to meticulously plan a family passover for everyone who will gather after her death. Quietly funny and also kind of heartbreaking with love, in the end, triumphing over petty religiosity.

Not a homerun, but a sweet look at a different kind of family.
