Sometimes I Think About Dying is a dreamy tragicomedy from director Rachel Lambert that reflects on social anxiety and the human need for connection. ''Any film that makes things difficult for the viewer is worthwhile. (...) You grant Fran everything. Love, energy, fantastic experiences. But the film respects her character, her character. She will never be extroverted, there is nothing to break out of. She is who she is and she takes things cautiously and contemplatively. This is a film that chafes against stasis in a classic storytelling tradition. But Fran is no spectacle. That's why you don't often see her on big screens.'' (Filmkrant, Oct. 15, 2023)
