Weird request: I'm looking for good movies (especially indie) where seemingly "nothing happens" in that the story is character focused, small, emotional, bearing witness to a human being. My mind goes to Brittany Snow's recent directorial debut "Parachute." Other examples please.
It’s been 20 years since I saw it, but I feel like PIECES OF APRIL would slot in here.

No action, just driving and talking
