Tyrannosaur (2011)

A contender for the most depressing picture of the year. An angry, violent drunk stumbles into the charity shop of a kind, yet embittered Christian woman. Over the next few days, they become involved in each other's lives in a way that will forever change them. The pace is slow and deliberate, but never feels boring. It's one of those great "lonely people who find each other" movies that I'm so fond of, but with a dark twist on the genre.

Note: There are no dinosaurs in this movie. :P
