She Dies Tomorrow Reviews

Aug 27, 2024

One of the most pointless, clue-less movie! Just wondering nd having doubts about the producer/s, director/s...are they for real skilled for their jobs? And the actors? Lousy, lousy, lousy! Do not waste your time, please!!!!

This movie was different. It’s definitely creative and I feel like the visuals helped to strengthen the premise. However, considering that this is supposed to be a psychological thriller kind of situation going on, they could have delved more into the psyche to explain why people were freaking out. Not enough that was put into that part I feel that would’ve made the movie come together significantly better. *SLIGHT SPOILER* The movie ended on a cliffhanger where nobody actually died, but the effect kept being passed on. This would definitely have worked out much better and would have been an ideal ending had the directors— writers, whoever— explored the characters’ decision-making process process even if it is that they’re going crazy.

Boring and slow, this movie put me to sleep. Don't waste your time.

Very uneventful and weird, in a bad way, for the first 74 minutes of this 84 minute movie. So mind-numbingly boring that I forgot we were supposed to be waiting with bated breath to see whether or not ‘she dies tomorrow.' There's no sense of a plot, no depth to the characters, no feeling of emotion, horrible ending. Also, the high critics reviews for this have convinced me thoroughly that there is something severely wrong with them. I don't know why I didn't score it lower.

What an absolute waste of film. For a movie that presumably highlights the importance of your time left on this earth, it does nothing but waste it. The plot goes nowhere. Save yourself the money (and most importantly, time) and skip this one.

A potentially interesting premise loses the plot and wanders off the rails at some point, aimlessly meandering to a vague ending... which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

"What if like, everyone suddenly had to become intensely present, like they were on shrooms! How would different people handle that?" The connection between death and the present moment is as old as humanity, but what made me want to recommend this movie was how surprisingly funny it was.

Boring. Need I say more? I get that death is a terrible thing to contemplate, and thinking constantly about its inevitability is unpleasant, but this tried to be more than it was.

Still thinking about this film months later. Casts a spell with the performances and story.

This was a pretentious art house film that attempts to show the feeling of anxiety, obviously told by someone who doesn't have anxiety. It might be interesting to those who have never contemplated death before. P.S. I hope you like Mozart's Requiem.

Just a little too simple

interesting mood and cool concept. I love weird independent movies, but this was a let down. Very repetitive and far too long.

Oct 5, 2021

A true stinker. The 15 minutes of the movie is pure indulgent wallowing, And then it gets worse. You probably have better things to do. Watch paint dry. Watch grass grow.

She Dies Tomorrow is a unique psychological thriller, but it also a poorly misjudged one. One that is laborious and stodgy, a film that leans hard into mystery but never amounts to much at all. Amy is a young woman who recently purchased a house, when her friend Jane pays a visit Amy informs her that she is going to die tomorrow. There is no reason for this and so the mystery begins. Slowly this news spreads from friend to friend, which each person in the chain believing that they too will die. It does sound rather silly and it actually is. But instead of the film being some quirky comedy it instead becames a laboured film with no centre or meaning.

After reading the critic reviews I understand the essence of what was trying to be captured in the film. The problem is that the movie fails miserably in it's execution of those goals. There is so much more that could have been explored, felt, and experienced by the viewer and a haunting sense of minimalism could have still been achieved. Someone mentioned Twin Peaks which gives you a feeling to chase as you watch but is a bad comparison for this film because it is in no way close to being as fun, mind bending, charming, etc. Please stay away.

It was so dry pointless and plodding . Yuck!

Terrible and insanely slow I wanted to die watching it

May 16, 2021

One of the most frustrating films I've watched in years.

Apr 26, 2021

SHE DIES TOMORROW is a deeply disappointing film. Although it clocks in at only 86 minutes, it was the longest 86 minutes I've experienced in quite some time. The movie has a fascinating premise, and there were moments that were very interesting. But as a whole, it didn't work for me. In a nutshell, Amy wakes up one morning, absolutely convinced that she will "die tomorrow." And when she shares this certainly with her older friend Jane, unfortunately Jane "catches" the same conviction about herself. Turns out, this certainty of immediately impending death is a communicable disease or thought. That was a very cool idea and is the premise on which I decided to watch the film. Ugh. The first 20 minutes or so of the film show us very little other than how Amy responds the awareness that she has one day left. She putters aimlessly around the house, listens to the same piece of music over and over, and generally acts depressed and delusional. There are all sorts of low-budget effects (mostly lights that change colors constantly) and loud noises and distorted close-ups to show us, apparently, the mental state of Amy. I was mostly annoyed by it all, and then really, really bored. Amy, as played by Kate Lyn Sheil, is one of these characters who hardly moves her mouth to speak, has a mostly blank affect and to be honest, is just not the least bit interesting. She KNOWS she has one day left to live. I have no idea how I would react to that certain knowledge, but I hope I'd show more recognizable emotion. It was VERY tempting to turn off the movie at this point. Jane (Jane Adams) has a richer, more believable and perhaps even a little humorous response. She was actually quite enjoyable to watch, and when she spends time spreading the disease further (unknowingly, of course) the film perked up considerably. Perhaps it was about to redeem itself? (And then we got a few flashbacks with Amy and a boyfriend that helped explain things a little more. That was welcome context.) Yet the ending was fumbled too. It was tough to keep track of time. The flashbacks were fine…but at the end, I didn't know if we were seeing the end of that first day, or the morning of "death day" or what? I'm sure Writer/Director Amy Seimetz had it all figured out and thought her presentation was clear…but all of us viewing the film didn't understand where in time we were when characters played by Chris Messina, Tunde Adebimpe and others had their final scenes. And a lot of the final dialogue was mumbled, which didn't help either. (And then Josh Lucas made a strange cameo. In a terrible beard.) The final moments of the film seemed to present us with a new way of thinking about the things that came before, but to be honest, I was not willing to put one ounce of energy into thinking them through. I was pretty actively angry at the movie. It certainly didn't benefit from all the "weird, dream-like sequences" that in the end, mostly felt like a way of padding the movie to feature length. I strongly advise against SHE DIES TOMORROW.

We generally don't know when death is going to come knocking at our door. But, when a woman receives a dream message that it's happening tomorrow, it sends her life into a tailspin, one that quickly becomes compounded when the notion apparently becomes "contagious" and affects others. Director Amy Seimetz's nuanced existential take on mortality examines the subject from a variety of angles, much of it punctuated by droll satirical humor, adding much-needed levity to a topic we often look upon with unrepentant dread. Some questions are left unanswered here, but that's fitting in light of the inscrutable nature of a subject that most of us will never know anything about until we experience it firsthand (and, even then, the experience is likely to be different for each of us, given our own personal beliefs and sensibilities). Moreover, the film deftly explores the impact of fear and how quickly and easily it can spread, something that can be almost as devastating and pernicious as the prospect of death itself. As a psychological thriller, this offering didn't score particularly well with audiences, but I suspect that's because many viewers took it too literally and didn't see, appreciate or understand the humor in the filmmaker's approach. Keep that in mind as you screen this one, and I'm sure you'll find it to be a delightfully whimsical experience.
