Several Ways to Die Trying

About This Movie

Several Ways to Die Trying is an intriguing blend of comedy and drama that explores the struggles of a young writer named Dart, who is stuck in a creative rut. The tone is a mix of dark humor and a touch of melancholy, which really captures that push-and-pull of wanting to give up yet finding a glimmer of hope. Dart’s journey is punctuated by his bizarre fixation on the perfect suicide note, which adds a unique thread to the narrative. Then we have Mouse, who wades into his life, bringing her own frustrations and desires. Their interactions are sometimes awkward, sometimes poignant, showcasing a rawness that feels quite genuine. The pacing can feel a bit meandering, but it mirrors Dart’s own scattered thoughts. Performances are solid, channeling a sense of real-life struggles that many can relate to.
