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

Missing (2023)

After her mother fails to return from an out-of-country vacation with her boyfriend, teen June uses all of the electronic resources at her disposal in efforts to track her down. 

Once we got past the obligatory "this teenage girl treats her loving mother like garbage," I enjoyed the ride. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it was fairly believable and very smart. I found myself thinking "yes, that would work" several times. Simply being able to navigate the online world without dealing with corporate red tape would make it possible for a civilian to make more quick progress than professionals could.
