Drama, Short Films, 24-Feb-2025
Over the course of a muggy summer day in New England, two friends meander from place to place, getting high and avoiding the aftermath of a recent family tragedy. “Out of Body,” directed by Miles Dixon, is a moment-to-moment observation of both the joy and aloofness of a youthful bond. Cam and Ryan spend their summer days sleeping in, playing video games, cliff-jumping, and entertaining themselves with whatever else their small town has to offer while almost always rolling or smoking a joint. It’s not entirely clear what happened, but Cam has a broken arm, and doesn’t seem to have much foresight about post high-school plans. It’s suggested that Ryan’s been lounging away for even longer. The film moves at its own steady pace, a series of static frames, sun-kissed or surrounded by lush greenery, and the two understated performances of Jaeden Martell (“Y2K”, “It,” “Arcadian”) and Tomás Fattorusso set the rhythm and headspace. -JM.
