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

Before I Disappear (2014)

Guy with a crappy apartment and a, literally, shitty job decides to off himself to be with his girlfriend in the afterlife...but is interrupted by his estranged sister’s call for help.

This felt like it could’ve been decent if it had been told straight. Instead, it’s rather fevered: there’s a lot of symbolism and drug-induced episodes and a whole subplot about a dead girl and rival club owners and...oh, I don’t care. It demanded too much without giving enough.
