Directed and written by M. Blash, this finds a fire in the woods somewhere in rural Oregon and sisters Angela (Jena Malone) and Emma (Chloë Sevigny) dealing with the death of their mother. In fact, just minutes after she dies in her home, a psychic (Patricia Arquette) calls and informs Emma that her mother will soon rise from the dead. Angela fights her on this, but Emma will not be denied. So the sisters wrap her in a sheet and close the windows in the hope that her soul will remain in the home and go back into her body.

While Angela is trying to do things the normal way—calling the coroner, starting to grieve—Emma is planting flowers in caves, decorating the home with balloons and doing dances that she thinks will help her mother come back.

But is that psychic call really a viral video joke? Is this movie even about death, or is it about navigating life? Do some families ever really get along or are we forced to? Does Angela care more about a new relationship than even dealing with her sister’s refusal to agree that their matriarch is gone?

By the end, this movie wants things in every way possible. The mother could be dead, a ghost, or have returned to life. As for the blaze outside the town just sits there, surrounding everyone but never really intruding. Somewhere between “pretentious trash,” “art film tone poem,” and “drone cinema,” this feels like a movie that some people are going to fill in themselves and fall in love with — you’re reading from one right now — or dismiss because it’s just ridiculous. I kind of love that it takes that swing.
