I watched this movie last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. The title is a bit misleading in that the lead character (Daisy Ridley) is not suicidal or morose. Her thoughts about dying probably arise as a result of her rather boring routine life as a young woman with limited social skills; these thoughts are interspersed in the movie as several surreal but not morbid moments.
This is not your typical "rom-com." There is tentative romance, but only awkward moments of comedy. The overall experience of watching the movie is to spend an hour and a half experiencing the life of an intelligent attractive young woman lacking in standard social graces. As what I would call a "slice-of-life" movie, it reminded me of the equally quiet and introspective movie "Perfect Days."
