She Dies Tomorrow


She Dies Tomorrow
is a weird, apocalyptic kind of thing that feels perfect for 2020. Jane Adams is great in it. I am not sure I'm into the neon lights – actually I'm positive I dislike this pulsating red and blue neon situation – and I do not understand Amy Seimetz' interest in Kate Lyn Sheil, but this was a very interesting film. It's funny and smart and scary. I liked it.

Sun Don't Shine (2012)


Riveting from its first shot, Sun Don't Shine is consistently surprising, creepy, frustrating, and very, very Florida. I really liked it. Shane Carruth was a producer on this, and I'm sure that helped a good deal, but Amy Seimetz's direction is impeccable here. The movie explains itself slowly, unfolding through its characters' strange behavior, and it stays intriguing throughout.

I watched Sun Don't Shine on the Criterion Channel.
