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

Hello I Must Be Going (2012)

Amy is a recently jilted wife in her 30s lazing around her parents’ house in a funk. When her parents throw a dinner party, the guests’ 19-year-old son Jeremy comes along and they find themselves rashly kissing in a back room. Despite her contrary intentions, Amy can’t seem to help being drawn to Jeremy’s very real interest in her.

Although I wasn’t completely satisfied with all of the dynamics in the story, I did especially like the way that Amy suddenly wakes up to the fact that what she’s experiencing with Jeremy she'd never gotten from her marriage: a feeling of value.
