Sometimes I Think About Dying (2023). 1h 34m | PG-13

“First thing, is that this is a very depressing movie to relate to. Especially the character. The movie itself is pretty uneventful, itu0026#39;s purposely not trying to do anything conventionally interesting. I enjoyed it though just because of how deliberate that was.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYou can feel how socially awkward Fran is. This felt like it was made by an introvert, the type that isnu0026#39;t an introvert of their own volition. I love how introversion is depicted as something we donu0026#39;t have a choice in. I think the movie does a good job at conveying her emotions in the moment. Daisy Ridley was fantastic. There probably are movies out there that depict social awkwardness pretty well, but this is the one that I feel did it best. Probably because there were so many awkward interactions in this where I thought u0026quot;oh that happens to me a lotu0026quot; Or u0026quot;oh I those thoughts too.u0026quot;So it felt personal to me.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI also loved how the movie is narrated from Franu0026#39;s perspective. It feels like weu0026#39;re in her head, and for the most part we donu0026#39;t get to see if other characters are judging her introversion for the most part. So we just get to see her inaudibly, through her mannerisms, ask herself oh is this weird? Was that a weird thing to say? This is weird, right? I think itu0026#39;s the perfect depiction of social anxiety, awkwardness and loneliness.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe only thing I didnu0026#39;t like was the argument in the car. It made sense but it felt unnatural in the moment, sudden and random. Otherwise the movie is perfect to me. Every now and then I wondered when this movie is set; sometimes I think itu0026#39;s the 90u0026#39;s because I havenu0026#39;t seen anyone play CDs in a while, but then the computers in the office are new.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA guy fell asleep and was snoring. Didnu0026#39;t seem like a movie that should be playing in theater. I think itu0026#39;s a movie most people wouldnu0026#39;t like or maybe even relate to, but I loved it.”
