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

Worth (2021)

The lawyers handling the 9/11 victims fund struggle to earn the the trust of the bereaved families. Truth be told, the lawyers simply cannot understand what they're up against. And, unfortunately, this film tries to convey the struggle through talk, talk, and more talk. It's a lot of quiet emotion, which makes for a very dry film.

Somehow it still got to me, but that was more about the growth of a single man than it was the emotional heft of the proceedings.
