More Than Only (2017)
Time consuming ... play at 2x speed if you must watch this
I really wanted to like the story, in spite of its sophomoric contrivance, but the painful, wooden acting had me checking the progress bar again and again to see how much more there remained to endure. The characters don't engage in dialogue (or convincingly engage, period), they speechify *AT* one another. What might otherwise have been seamless, natural conversations were instead a litany of jarring transactions, periodically punctuated by the plot device of notebook scribbling accompanied by a preachy, anodyne voice-over. Given the commendable cinematography, the most enjoyable parts of the film are when the characters aren't saying anything.
Tinker' (2017)
The only saving grace was that it eventually ended
A train wreck of ineffective emoting and pseudo-scientific silliness. Perhaps the creators took solace in a line from the interminable wasteland of a script: "Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's not there." Absent anything remotely passing for writing, acting, or a plot, they nevertheless held out hope that the audience would somehow view this as more than just an hour and thirty-seven minutes of new age nonsense sprinkled with facile feelings. Sadly, their faith in the suspension of disbelief was sorely misplaced.
