Sometimes I Think About Dying
Sometimes I Think About Dying
Fran likes to think about dying. It brings sensation to her quiet life. When she makes the new guy at work laugh, it leads to more: a date, a slice of pie, a conversation, a spark. The only thing standing in their way is Fran herself.

Daisy Ridley gives a quietly captivating performance who’s introversion has manifested into depression. But a new co-worker at her office awakens her longing for human connection and reveals an affecting and touching story, even if it takes a bit long to get there. The first half has a sluggish plodding pace emphasizing the mundanity of office life. Daisy barely speaks a single word of dialogue. She slinks away from attention and interaction, slumps down in her chair. For this reason, the film can be a challenging watch. But it is fairly rewarding. Even the most extreme introverts have that yearning for human connection. We all do, even if it’s painful or uncomfortable to outwardly express that.
