By the Time It Gets Dark
Drama
A film director and her muse who was a student activist in the 1970s, a waitress who keeps changing jobs, an actor and an actress, all live loosely connected to each other by almost invisible threads. The narrative sheds its skin several times to reveal layer upon layer of the complexities that make up the characters' lives.
VIBE
A deeply introspective and fragmented journey through memory and identity. It feels like piecing together a haunting dream, with a somber, contemplative mood that lingers long after viewing.
