The images are artfully crafted, but the narrative lacks momentum.

We Might As Well Be Dead bubbles with the nihilism inherent to its title, and the pitch-black humor that mindset can engender.

We Might As Well Be Dead skewers our own potential for us all to fall prey to paranoia. All the more terrifying is that, as we see over and over again, we likely won’t heed its warning.

Chock full of social commentary, We Might As Well Be Dead is an impressive debut from director Sinelnikova.

Can't recommend unfortunately and don't understand what others see in this film - satire, shooting etc? It's just total nonsense. Waste of time.
