Not always, movies will make you think. Some of them are designed to raise some questions, but you’re not obligated to start some discourse with a large part of them. That being said, films like Betray: Thirst inevitably make you “look.” The film, an honest take on infidelity, is part of an independent movie library where performances could be tweaked, and scripts could use some doctoring.
