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

Baby Ruby (2023)

Jo is a successful lifestyle blogger who details every aspect of her life, including her pregnancy. But, once Ruby is born, Jo becomes less open and more fearful. She's not getting sleep because Ruby's very fussy, but Jo also doesn't want to share the work.

SPOILER: this plot is basically "postpartum is a horror movie." Though the point is fair, it's more than a little bit annoying to have to wonder along with our unreliable narrator exactly who is evil here... her husband? her mother-in-law? the jogging mommies from town? the baby herself? only to find out she's depressed and sleep-deprived so isn't thinking clearly. Really well-acted though.
