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

Heretic (2024)

Two female mormons in their mid-20s are visiting those who have expressed interest in the church. They're an odd pairing: one has obviously led an extremely sheltered life and the other is a quite a bit more wise and wary. But both are disarmed by the "harmless old married man" shtick of a homeowner and find themselves bending the guidelines rather than insisting that they be followed.

Even though there's quite a bit of the familiar here, it still manages to feel fresh due to the intelligent religious discussion and the strong performances by all three mains.
