Lori Singer plays a novelist and professor still reeling from her husband's sudden death in this Florida-set character piece from the director of 'Ruby in Paradise' and 'Ulee's Gold.'

Singer plays the title character, a novelist and professor of creative writing at a Florida university, who is still reeling from the sudden death of her husband a year earlier. Besides exploring the impact of grief, the film is one of the few to touch on the impact of COVID on many people’s lives. Some of Rachel’s classes are still conducted via Zoom. Her life has been upended in other ways by the pandemic.
As in several of his earlier films, Nuñez makes excellent use of the Florida locations. The seaside home and Rachel’s in-town residence in Tallahassee both come alive as lived-in presences. Cinematography by William Tanner Sampson is never showy but always astutely revealing. Casting is also first-rate, with a string of vivid performances by actors who are not household names but who all meet the demands of their roles.
