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

Something, Anything (2015)

Young, pretty Peggy marries a young, pretty guy and looks set to have a predictable life. When she miscarries months into the marriage, however, she withdraws -- not only from her husband, but from her job, friends, and lifestyle.

At first, I had a hard time getting into it as the lead is so milquetoast as to barely register as a person, but perhaps that was the point. Tragedy gave her the freedom/excuse to be someone different. It really grew on me and maybe even spoke to me.

B+
