Review of She Dies Tomorrow (2020) by Marakai — 04 Sep 2020

Actor and sometimes director Amy Seimetz crafts something quite intriguing in her second feature film, She Dies Tomorrow. The plot synopsis itself, is very simple; “Amy thinks she’s dying tomorrow.

.. and it’s contagious”. It’s an intriguing premise but it’s the journey of Amy (played by Kate Lyn Sheil) that encourages the viewer to delve deeper. As she comes in contact with people, they begin to share the same existential suffering which begs the question of whether this is an epidemic or some issue of mental health.

As an experimental piece on mood and composition it’s a very interesting film that often reminded me of Nicolas Winding Refn with its art house and cerebral vibe. It’s bold in its approach and encourages your participation and pondering while keeping the whole experience fleeting, much like life itself.
