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

Vivarium (2020)

Tom and Gemma are pressured by an estate agent to tour a house they're pretty sure they'd never buy since it's in a cookie-cutter development from hell... possibly literally. Despite their best efforts, they cannot find their way out of the neighborhood, but they're getting regular deliveries of "food" and, eventually, a baby is delivered... in a cardboard box.

Imogen Poots and Jesse Eisenberg are great as the couple. But, while the setting was unique, the conclusion was no surprise at all. From the moment we met the agent, it was fairly obvious that he was far from normal.
