Sometimes I Think About Dying 2024

"Sometimes I Think About Dying tackles amusing all-overs and bareness in a agilely addled yet arresting fashion. Lingering cinematography, atmospheric score, and a astounding Daisy Ridley somehow accomplish it all work, but its uneventful, repetitive anecdotal won't be for everyone." Rating: B-

**By: Louisa Moore / ** I absolutely adulation “Sometimes I Think About Dying,” administrator Rachel Lambert‘s low-key, blue appearance allotment about a socially awkward woman who has an unmet admiration for animal connection. The backward pacing and abstinent storytelling may be arduous for some viewers, but this little blur that seems to be about annihilation is absolutely abiding in abyss and has a agog compassionate of what it feels like to ache with crippling amusing awkwardness. Living in a baby littoral boondocks on the black Oregon coast, Fran (Daisy Ridley) spends abundant of her time abandoned and generally daydreams about dying. She works at a arid appointment and agilely observes her added approachable coworkers as they babble with anniversary added and go about their circadian routines. She describes herself as “not actual interesting,” is quiet and reserved, isn’t actual sociable, has no friends, and mostly keeps to herself. This backwardness is generally mistaken for aloofness, and best anybody steers bright of any interactions with her. Things change back the affable and hardly awkward Robert (Dave Merheje) starts a job at the company, and he takes an absorption in Fran. She’s abashed to accord accord a chance, but there’s article altered about him that may aloof accomplish Robert the aboriginal actuality whom she allows to absolutely get to apperceive her. There isn’t a accomplished lot of plot, but Lambert manages to accumulate her blur compelling. Her storytelling appearance is awful detailed, which gives a amore to the austere tone. Annihilation feels forced. Lambert paints a black account of humanity, but does so with wit, style, charm, and humor. There’s so abundant subtlety in what’s larboard unspoken, and the blur shows us Fran’s able and claimed life, but never tells us what to feel. The blur is able-bodied casting from top to bottom, including Parvesh Cheena, Marcia DeBonis, and Megan Stalter, who add a lot of action as Fran’s appointment mates, and Merheje and Ridley feel affably authentic. Right bottomward to her anatomy language, from alienated eye acquaintance to a slouched aspect back her appearance is activity uncomfortable, Ridley wholly embodies what it charge feel like to be Fran. It’s a skilled, able performance, and one with few announced words. It may complete like a adamantine advertise to sit through a cine that’s focused on a advance appearance who suffers from astringent amusing anxiety, but “Sometimes I Think About Dying” is a good, simple adventure that’s told well. It’s a arresting blur that alluringly expresses the charge for animal affiliation while actuality clumsy to rid yourself of debilitating melancholia.

the best achievement of daisy ridley, easily down. however, the movie's apriorism was acutely added acceptable for a abbreviate cine and it lacked activity at some scenes. i still enjoyed it and i admired how able-bodied attempt it was, the backdrop was acutely beautiful.

"Fran" (Daisy Ridley) brand to accumulate herself to herself. She's actual abundant on the ambit of things at assignment and goes home to her favourite cottage cheese and bed by 10.15 best evenings. The accession of "Robert" (Dave Merheje) all-overs things up a little back his appeal for some appointment accoutrement leads to a cruise to the cinema to see "Departure" (2015). Though it could never be declared as racy, what now ensues watches the two get a little abutting and a bigger acquainted. She reveals to him that as she looks from her anteroom window at the huge cranes loading and auction the ships, she imagines herself accepted from one of them - and not in the way a adolescent might! A adventitious affair with the afresh retired "Carol" (Marcia DeBonis) in a booth ability advice "Fran" adapt her priorities though! This is a far cry from annihilation Ridley has done appropriately far, and shows her as an amateur of ample versatility. The autograph works absolutely able-bodied here, too. Sparingly acclimated amid the capital characters but added abundantly acclimated to allegorize the blah attributes of her activity at assignment - abnormally with bang-up "Isobel" (Megan Stalter) who has exact diarrhoea in aloof about every way you can imagine. The adventure takes absolutely an absorbing attending at those (slightly) after in activity who are in a rut and agreeable to abide so but I'm abashed this accomplished book doesn't absolutely accomplish for arresting cinema. Indeed, at times the administrator seems agreeable to leave us with alone the apparent glimpse of the characters and calm with the austere and addled attributes of the lighting, creates an apathy all of it's own. It's not so abundant that annihilation absolutely happens, it's that I wasn't absolutely agitated either way if it did or didn't. The accomplished affair is all aloof a bit too lacklustre. It's fine, this film, but not abundant more.
