What’s Streaming
SHE DIES TOMORROW (2020) Rent or buy on iTunes, Google Play and other streaming platforms and pay TV operators. This unsettling film from the director Amy Seimetz focuses on a group of people who, one by one, become convinced they will die the following day. It starts with Amy (Kate Lyn Sheil), who confides the sudden revelation to her friend Jane (Jane Adams). Before long, Jane is certain she shares the same fate, and announces the belief to family and friends. In her New York Times review, Jeannette Catsoulis wrote, “Eerie and at times impenetrable, the movie (which was completed pre-pandemic) presents a rapidly spreading psychological contagion that feels uncomfortably timely.”
SUNLESS SHADOWS (2019) Watch through virtual cinemas. In this documentary, the filmmaker Mehrdad Oskouei takes viewers inside an Iranian detention center where girls and women are imprisoned for killing male family members. As the film captures the sense of community the prisoners show one another inside, the audience learns more about their lives beyond its walls. “As the prisoners discuss their suffering under the hands of their abusers — some were brutally beaten, while others were children when they were forced to marry older men — it’s clear they are victims, too,” Kristen Yoonsoo Kim wrote in her review for The New York Times.
ROB SCHNEIDER: ASIAN MOMMA, MEXICAN KIDS Stream on Netflix.
