If you loved The Trials of Cate McCall, try The Dead Girl
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Karen Moncrieff, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Trials of Cate McCall, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Dead Girl is
Los Angeles. Autumn. A stray dog's bark. Fragments of a murdered woman's life emerge through disparate stories: a pathologist mother, the victim's secret friend, a coldly pragmatic kidnapper. Moncrieff's neo-noir recalls a spikier Altman.
