Session 9 2001
This film's premise is it's strongest asset. Four men are hired to remove asbestos from an abandoned asylum.

While overwhelmingly somber, it is a surprisingly heartfelt film with deep and sympathetic characters, and is certainly worth your time.

No One Will Save You can't seem to pick what it wants to be, it starts out by introducing the main character who seems like she was pulled out of a Wes Anderson movie, but stripped of all the…
