Screenings

Jay Duplass makes his return to the Sundance Film Festival with an emotionally complex examination of grief and trauma, balanced perfectly with streaks of levity throughout. See You When I See You brings writer Adam Cayton-Holland’s memoir Tragedy Plus Time: A Tragi-Comic Memoir to the screen with an inspired ensemble cast led by fellow Sundance Film Festival alum, director-actor Cooper Raiff, as Aaron, a young writer struggling to come to terms with the loss of his sister and best friend Leah (Kaitlyn Dever). Duplass taps into the millennial milieu of masking sorrow with humor and the devastating mental toll that avoidance can take on the bereaved, ushering us through a parade of ill-advised coping mechanisms and the collateral damage that follows with his trademark sense of compassion and empathy at every turn. — JH
