We Want to Die (2022) offers a raw glimpse into the life of a working-class couple grappling with the harsh realities of economic strife. The film's tone is heavy, almost suffocating at times, reflecting the weight of its themes—love, despair, and the struggle for survival. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing moments to breathe, which adds to the overall sense of hopelessness yet also intimacy. Practical effects are minimal, but the performances? They feel authentic, almost documentary-like, pulling you into their world. It's interesting how this piece, while inspired by E. F. Burian's earlier work, attempts to recontextualize those struggles within a modern lens, leaving you pondering the cycles of hardship that persist.
