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.

Rachel Lambert's "Sometimes I Think About Dying" exists in that adapted liminal amplitude amid arresting and tedious—a blur rescued from its own anecdotal thinness by amazing performances and accurate beheld storytelling. Daisy Ridley's Fran is a masterclass in minimalist acting. As an appointment artisan whose autogenous activity dwarfs her alien expression, Ridley communicates volumes through microexpressions and anatomy language. A slight about-face in posture, a about apparent eye movement—these become seismic affecting contest in Ridley's hands. Dave Merheje's Robert provides the absolute counterbalance, his affable amore creating a gravitational cull that both attracts and terrifies Fran. Lambert's administration shines in her beheld adaptation of introversion. The camera generally observes Fran from aloft or at a distance, altogether capturing both her backwardness and her abolish from the apple about her. These compositions aren't aloof aesthetically interesting; they're affecting architecture, architecture a beheld accent for the airy acquaintance of amusing anxiety. The Oregon bank setting, with its abiding gray skies and bleary landscapes, becomes beneath a accomplishments than an addendum of Fran's close weather. The region's black adorableness provides absolute ecology autograph for a appearance whose apperception consistently drifts against black admitting moments of amazing beauty. What prevents the blur from extensive abundance is its meandering screenplay. Scenes amble accomplished their accustomed conclusion, and the anecdotal occasionally loses momentum, decidedly in the additional half. Yet there's article about adapted about this pacing—introversion itself isn't able or economical, but abstinent and cautious. "Sometimes I Think About Dying" isn't authoritative admirable abstract statements about the animal action or the attributes of introvert-extrovert attraction. It's artlessly celebratory one specific affiliation with aberrant beheld intelligence and achievement depth. The film's ability lies not in what it says but in how anxiously it watches.
