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

Take This Waltz (2012)

Michelle Williams has a loving and light-hearted marriage, but that doesn’t stop her from starting an intense flirtation with the guy across the street.

This could have been an affecting and sad “always gotta have your guard up” cautionary tale, but Williams’ character was more like a child in constant need of attention and reassurance (seriously, the scene below made me want to PUNCH) that I couldn’t help but root for her to leave her decent husband who deserved so much better.
