The movie centres on Fran (Daisy Ridley), a dedicated office worker who tirelessly works from her cubicle each day while observing life. She appears uninterested in joining in on the routine talks of her employees, mentally and physically avoiding them. Fran imagines herself on the forest floor, her corpse shrouded in foliage, or being hoisted by a crane when she thinks about dying frequently. Until Robert (Dave Merheje), a new guy at work, starts talking with her, Fran appears doomed to continue down this path, a routine she's grown accustomed to in her quiet life. Robert's interaction with Fran brings to the surface her buried longing for connection.

It takes some time for the pace of Sometimes I Think About Dying to ramp up. However, once it does, the movie, which was written by Kevin Armento, Stefanie Abel Horowitz, and Katy Wright-Mead, is a nuanced examination of the yearning for human connection and what it looks like when it is reawakened for the first time in a very long time. Fran has surrounded herself with a wall because she has come to believe that she is uninteresting. The movie perfectly captures the sensations of wanting to feel seen and connected to while simultaneously feeling too nice for the routine and everyday contacts with others.

In a way that gives readers a glimpse into Fran's world, Sometimes I Think About Dying also deals with grief and loneliness. Even though Fran's thoughts should have been explored a little more deeply, the movie manages to temper its general sadness with a good deal of levity and fun, with Lambert providing a counterbalance to the film's often oppressive and protracted silences. The humour in the movie comes from people's everyday activities, such as preparing coffee or small talk with coworkers. These scenes highlight the ridiculousness of life's little details while also highlighting the deeper significance of people trying to help others in their own manner.

Sometimes I Think About Dying is hampered, if nothing else, by its plodding pace. The movie leans in with too much setup at the beginning and takes its time getting to the point of its plot. It doesn't stop the movie, but it does make spectators wait before they can enjoy the lovely, touching, and novel story that lies at its centre.
