In life we often ignore the inevitable, or try to avoid it by all means necessary. So what if the inevitable is the death of the life you know?

The Fundamentals of Caring on Netflix explores the ability to cope and understand the importance of humanity. This Sundance indie film flew under most radars; however, it makes a memorable impression. If you’re planning on procrastinating this trimester, add this to the top of your list of must-watch Netflix originals.

Paul Rudd steps away from his normal crude roles to play Ben, a genuine caring individual with a mysterious backstory. Ben is trying to ignore the inevitable divorce papers his wife is trying to serve him while attempting to help Trevor (Craig Roberts), a character with a limiting disability that will inevitably lead to his death. Trevor has a twisted outlook on life and realistic views about his inevitable future, which provides comedic relief in the bluntest of ways.

Roberts’s acting ability had me googling his name after the film to find more films with him in it. His acting skills definitely made his character completely believable.

Unfortunately, Selena Gomez’s acting was the weakest in the film, although not as horrendous as her role in Spring Breakers (2012), or any of her other films. What helped Gomez’s acting was her character, Dot, a rebellious runaway who is adopted into Ben and Trevor’s gang of misfits. She is a relatable character for those of us who always want to run away from the controlling grasps of our parents.

This is ultimately the perfect movie to curl up into a blanket with a cup of tea and ignore your studies for another 93 minutes.
