Sometimes I Think About Dying(2024)

Dir. Directed by Rachel Lambert

A lesser film would provide both an explanation for (and an explanation of) Fran's visions, so credit to Rachel Lambert for not doing that. Often felt like a kind of Office Space: 2023 performed by mumblecore actors (not a criticism).

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.
