It’s intensely disturbing and hilarious in equal measure, as if somebody decided to let David Lynch remake Contagion. Read full review

She Dies Tomorrow is a bizarre and textured work of cinematic poetry, playing like a menacing death march into the unknown. Read full review

Unnerving and compelling in equal measure, Amy Seimetz’s film is an exploration of how fear and paranoia can spread like a disease, and how the acceptance of one’s mortality remains the most terrifying thing of all. Read full review

Amy Seimetz plays by her own rules like this is the last film she’ll ever make (it won’t be, no shot). She Dies Tomorrow ponders self-fulfillment with agency and riveting execution. Seimetz’s fearlessness is what sells every ounce of this uncontrollable narrative’s every zig and zag. From tone to philosophy to composition, this is Seimetz’s soul on celluloid. Read full review

She Dies Tomorrow often feels more like an experiment than a film – which would be fine, but Siemetz doesn't do much to define her metrics for success or failure. Read full review

Psychedelic and funny at the same time, some kind of self-aware Malick that somehow nails the anxieties of a whole generation. Quite gorgeous too.

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.… Expand

It’s absolutely bizarre and absolutely gorgeous. The cinematography and editing are tremendous. The acting is like a painting, where they capture a single emotion perfectly. I have no clue what the movie was about or what was happening in any given scene. But what I do know is that this movie is weird and quirky and aesthetically perfect. Even though the plot escapes me (and is likely meant to), I find it accurately disturbing and stressful. It somehow illogically describes the chaos of my brain and the confusion of my emotions. It’s an insane time to live in and this movie hits home. It’s relatable in an emotional kind of way. I’d love to watch it again, especially while not sober.… Expand

There's more visual than plot, but 'She Dies Tomorrow' is an interesting exercise that dwells into regret, fear, and sorrow. The mystery is there, and although it gets sidelined by what happens to the characters, there's no lack of emotion and even humor.

An existentialist mystery that despite its ambition fails to solidify its ideas and feels shallow and pretentious.

It's definitely not horror although in some places it has been promoted that way and it will hardly be a film that creates a remarkable impression. The rest depends on yourAn existentialist mystery that despite its ambition fails to solidify its ideas and feels shallow and pretentious.

It's definitely not horror although in some places it has been promoted that way and it will hardly be a film that creates a remarkable impression.

The rest depends on your own tastes and if you're in the mood to enjoy a film of this type, because beyond its merits in terms of direction and acting, the end result for me was tedious, bombastic and more than anything forgettable.… Expand

Horribly pretentious low budget mumblecore with added disco-lighting. Feels like a movie a first time director would want to make during film school. Perhaps also the reason why it resonates with so many film critics.

Pretentious drivel. The movie literally goes nowhere. Complete waste of time. 0/10 would not watch again.
