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

Human Capital (2015)

The movie begins with a cyclist being bumped off of the road by an SUV. We then flash back to months before the accident to view the time period leading up to it through the eyes of one character, then back again to see it through the eyes of a second, then from the perspective of a third. All three are connected, so some bits overlap.

Although lower, middle, and elite classes are all featured, it was striking to see the manipulative shits in each strata. Despite level of privilege, there are jerks and gems everywhere.

B+
