The Discovery (2017)

Once the existence of an afterlife has been proven, instances of suicide jump dramatically. The man behind the revelation has fashioned a kind of commune for those interested in continuing the research. And, though he has long been estranged from the family, the man's elder son is coming home.

Even if it wasn't dreary and slow as molasses, this was never going to work for me because I simply didn't get the premise. Why would people kill themselves just because there's an afterlife? No one's saying that the afterlife is a happy one. They didn't prove the existence of heaven -- just something else. To me it was absolutely bizarre that the collective assumption would be "it's gotta be better than this."
