You are not going to talk to anyone about this. Not today. You have your reasons and they are real and you are not going to be talked out of them right now. So you are here instead, which is its own kind of decision, a way of getting close to the thing without having to say it out loud to someone who is going to respond. These films will get closer than you expect. They are not a substitute for the conversation you're avoiding, and they know it, and they will get as close as they can and leave the rest to you.
