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

The Quiet Girl (2022)

A large Irish family ships one of their daughters off to relatives for the summer. Cait's used to being neglected and mocked for her bashfulness, but finds a different reality in the home of this older couple. As Cait begins to blossom, the couple's story also begins to reveal itself naturally.

I just loved the honest message here -- that the family you're born into isn't necessarily the family who will know you or love you best. What a hopeful heartbreaker.
