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

Uncle Frank (2020)

In 1973, Beth is in her freshman year at college where her uncle is a professor. She's only just discovered that Frank is gay when her grandfather (his dad) passes away. They decide to road trip, and Frank's partner Wally decides to follow.

There are some lovely moments, but most have been hit earlier and better in other stories. What makes this film worth the watch are the honest performances by Paul Bettany and Peter Macdissi as the gay couple forced out of their secrecy.
