What if every time you tried to commit suicide, a time loop brought you back? That part of Groundhog Day is explored in 3 Foot Ball and Souls when four strangers make a suicide pact online, but find one of their number is a teenager who has her whole life ahead of her. As the moment of decision is extended through the loop, we learn everyone's reasons and start to grasp what they must do to stop from being reset. Some black comedy at the start, to be sure, but I found the emotional climax quite effective and I more or less wept through the last reel, sappy sentimental coda included. Despair, second chances... hope? Suicide movies are generally going to have the same message, but the structure gives this one some surprises. Just the kind of lo-fi, small-budget indie SF I'm interested in, and I'd say this one is much better than the average in this category. 2 years 10 months ago
