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

Fast Color (2019)

The earth hasn't had rain in eight years, so there's no running water and what's available costs dearly. A woman with the ability/curse to cause earthquakes whether she wants to or not is being sought by the government. Her mother and daughter live on a remote farm and also have abilities -- but on a much smaller scale. There's some weird after-effect to using the ability that causes streaks of color... for no other apparent reason other than for there to be a cool effect.

Boy. This is one stupid movie. Once the young woman figures out how to harness her abilities, she "takes apart the sky," which causes a downpour. The response of the authorities is to pull firearms on her. But why? Are they gonna kill the person who made it rain? So fucking dumb. A huge waste of time.
