Daylight Savings

Megan, a young girl on her way home from school, waits for the bus before she encounters Death, who has come to take her into the afterlife. As luck would have it, Death neglected to account for daylight savings, which means he arrived an hour early for Megan’s death. Megan and Death must endure the awkward time between the present and her untimely death.

Directed by Joe Gerus, Daylight Savings leans on a strong ensemble — Ella Jones, Alex Arco — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2022.
