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

Our Souls at Night (2017)

Addie comes to Louis, a neighbor with whom she's been acquainted for nearly 50 years, with a proposition: that they spend the nights together -- just sleeping. As the surviving spouses of long-time marriages, they have both had to learn to sleep alone, but Addie believes they might sleep better with a nice person lying next to them. Turns out, she's right.

This is a lovely and practical romance complicated by others (as almost everything is). The ending is frustrating, but so is life sometimes -- it felt honest.

B+
