September Says
Directed by Ariane Labed1h 40m2024
Sisters September and July share an intense bond, speaking in a secret language and keeping the outside world at a distance. After September is suspended from school, their mother brings them to a remote house on the Irish coast—where July begins to resist her sister’s increasingly sadistic control.
Our read: September Says (2024) reads as a sombre, measured, inventive drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, nihilistic in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
Sombre, measured, measured drama, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, measured.
