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

Chronic (2016)

Tim Roth is an in-home end-of-life caregiver who is terrifically good at his job. He gives them such undivided attention and connection that it borders on weird. But, rather than wondering about his motives, I found myself hoping -- should I ever find myself needing hospice care -- that I am fortunate enough to have a nurse as connected as he was. Of course, only damaged people probably have that kind of love to spare for a job.

It's an introspective and lonely film. Roth is amazing.
