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

The Living (2015)

Young husband knocks around his wife while blackout drunk, but she’s willing to forgive him even if her mother and brother can’t. Because we got no backstory -- e.g. is this a recurring event? Is he truly sorry or have they seen this before? -- it was impossible to guess at whose attitudes could be justified.

The sense of inevitable in this movie was overwhelming to the point of oppression.
