My Obsession with Death

Irrational fear of death takes center stage in this offbeat comedic gem.
5/5

Review

Alison Thornton mesmerizes audiences with her sensational performance as Ruby in Alexis Evelyn’s dark comedy ‘My Obsession with Death.’ From the opening scene by the pool, where Ruby’s irrational fears take center stage, to the witty narration that delves deep into her psyche, Thornton captivates from the outset.

Portraying Ruby, a character haunted by childhood trauma that manifests in a series of perilous encounters, Thornton shines with undeniable charisma and depth. Each moment on screen is brought to life with her impeccable talent and offbeat characterisation.

David Grauberger’s cinematography adds to the film’s cinematic allure, framing each shot to enhance its visual impact. The lighting, sound design, and editing draw viewers into Ruby’s world of danger, paranoia, and – as the title suggests – obsession with death.

Evelyn’s skill as both writer and director is evident in this darkly humorous tale, blending quirky comedic moments with unsettling themes. With its clever storytelling, impeccable production values, and standout performances, MOWD deserves high praise. Thornton’s brilliance on screen, coupled with Evelyn’s visionary direction and offbeat writing, make this a must-watch cinematic gem. Don’t miss out on the quirky world of Ruby.

Brief Synopsis

Ruby’s life had taken a detour into the absurd ever since a gruesome car accident scarred her childhood. The incident left an indelible mark, casting a dark shadow over her adolescent years. Instead of embracing the vibrant beauty of life, Ruby became consumed by an obsessive preoccupation with death.
