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

In the Aisles (2019)

A young ex-con goes to work as a stocker in a big box store. A lot of the other workers used to be truckers, but that business shut down and the store moved in, so they did too. The new guy keeps his head down, learns the job, and develops a crush on a married stocker in the aisle next to his.

It took me a long time to finish this because nothing much happens. It's quiet and drawn out and we don't get very deep into anyone's life. And while that does turn out to be the (very effective) point, it's a slog to get there.
