Quick 1h30m low budget “one room” movie about an immortal admitting it to a room of friends and all the inquiries and criticisms they have. The writing is tight. There’s not a lot, if any holes. It’s really engaging.
It had an interesting production history too! Jerome Bixby started working on it in the 60s, and eventually finished it from his deathbed in 1998, and then it still didn’t get made until 2007. The producers also thanked movie pirates for building word-of-mouth when it first came out.

It’s my sister’s favorite movie of all time, so it’s played regularly in our home.
Good call, it’s on YouTube https://youtu.be/HAX2RuZm-Fk
