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.
Critics Sentiment
Fran and Robert watch Departure together at the cinema
Fran's isolated daily routine at the office is established
The film rises significantly from Robert's arrival through their cinema date, gaining 1.1 points as Fran begins to connect.
Critics appreciated this contemplative character study for Daisy Ridley's exceptional performance and Rachel Lambert's visual storytelling, though some found the deliberately slow pacing challenging. The film builds emotional momentum through Fran and Robert's tentative relationship, with reviewers praising the authentic portrayal of social anxiety and introversion. While some critics wanted more narrative depth, most found the intimate exploration of loneliness and human connection genuinely moving.
