Queen of Earth

"Queen of Earth" (2015) is a psychological drama from Alex Ross Perry you can watch online on iFILM, with Elizabeth Moss and Katherine Waterston.

Catherine arrives at her friend Virginia's lake house in pieces. Her boyfriend left the same week her father — the artist she had built her adult life around — died by suicide. Virginia offers a week away. But the friendship between them has always carried a chill. A neighbor who gravitates toward Virginia makes things worse: he tells Catherine plainly that she spent her life in a comfortable bubble and will never reach what her father achieved.

Perry shoots almost everything at close range, with a string score that keeps the discomfort ambient. Moss does the heavy lifting in silence. It's a film that favors the creeping kind of damage — not what people say outright, but what they do while being perfectly pleasant. Watch "Queen of Earth" (2015) online on iFILM.
