Film Review – She Came to Me

A case of the cutes threatens to break out at any moment in “She Came to Me,” which is a strange approach to a film that’s mostly about infidelity and legal entanglements. It’s the latest feature from writer/director Rebecca Miller, who’s done good work before (“Personal Velocity: Three Portraits,” “The Ballad of Jack and Rose”), but hasn’t been seen in a while (2015’s “Maggie’s Plan”), with her latest feeling like an opportunity to try some funky tones out while feeling around for dark comedy and deep drama. “She Came to Me” is a handful at times, but Miller’s commitment to character is involving, exploring semi-unwell people hunting for control and opportunities in their sad lives. It’s a fascinating study of ego as well, nicely propped up by the cast, who secure distinct personalities in the haziness of Miller’s screenplay. Wackiness and anguish don’t mix as well as the helmer hopes, and the endeavor is often unsteady, but there are ideas that connect here, making for some interesting conflicts.
