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

Hello, My Name is Doris (2016)

Doris is an older woman who has never lived for herself because she served as her mother's caretaker and companion. But, now that her mother's gone, she decides she's gonna go for what she wants: the new young guy in her office. It's so cringey -- you just want to reach through the screen and deliver a few home truths to Doris, who is basically a high-schooler in her twilight years.

She's a movie character that does not exist in the real world. She may as well be a coma patient who wakes up after 40 years and just picks up from where she left off, it's that ridiculous.
