Sometimes I Think About Dying
The banal office life of an introverted young woman is shaken up by the arrival of a new colleague. An unusual romantic comedy about emotional loneliness, starring Daisy Ridley (best known as Rey in Star Wars).
Lost on the dreary Oregon coast, Fran wastes her daylight hours in the solitude of a cubicle, listening to the constant hum of officemates, occasionally daydreaming to pass the time. She is ghosting through life unable to pop her bubble of isolation. And then Robert starts up at the company. He is new to town and the dynamics of the office. He is a naturally friendly person who keeps trying to chat with Fran. Though it goes against every fibre of her being, she may have to give this guy a chance.
Director Rachel Lambert crafts a delicately told story of love for the socially awkward and emotionally challenged. The film is made all the more human by its lovely cast, most prominent in the penetrating eyes of lead actor Daisy Ridley and the caring smile of lead actor Dave Merheje.
