Evoking a similarly gothic and nightmarish aesthetic to films like 8mm or Lynch's Lost Highway, Everlasting examines jealousy and love in the often cruel underbelly of the modeling world. The leads all deliver captivating performances, but Valentina de Angelis is particularly magnetic as the elusive Jessie. Overall the film felt like a dream that wanders somewhat chaotically around Matt's mission to find Jessie's killer. This is not at the film's peril, however. The serpentine storytelling gives it an almost 90's-era Oliver Stone-like quality, where multiple perspectives elevate the emotional dimensions in each given moment. The soundtrack only enhances the ethereal qualities that are already present throughout. I look forward to seeing what this filmmaker does next!
