They Want Me Gone

source: They Want Me Gone

Monica (Alexia Rasmussen) is struggling to make ends meet with her young daughter in rural America. She works in a grocery store and isn't too happy about it. The movie is disjointed with scenes that are either flashbacks or imaginary. It's either all in her head or it's a surreal Kafkaesque horror. I was hoping for either and am satisfied with the resolution. The performances are good. It's an interesting small indie. I doubt that all of it makes sense. I'm still scratching my head with the animal trap. The movie exists in the muddled telling and that's kinda the point. It is inside her head.
