If you like your romances a little unstable, "Entanglement" is a hidden gem that's well worth your time. This 2017 Canadian indie features Thomas Middleditch — best known as the anxious coder from "Silicon Valley" — in a rare lead role. It is a creative stretch that completely works for him, anchoring a film that balances quirky charm with genuine emotional weight.
The story follows Ben Layten (Middleditch), who is newly divorced and at his lowest when he learns a stunning family secret: His parents once adopted a baby girl, only to give her back the day they found out his mother was pregnant with him. Convinced this almost-sister is the missing puzzle piece that will finally fix his life, he tracks her down. Instead of finding a sibling, he falls for her, and that's when things go beautifully sideways.
