Without is a film of that shows the raw chaotic grief and depression one may feel once they’ve experienced the death of one of most important people in your life. We see the main character in a complete state of isolation from the world; she’s not comfortable with the people she interacts with, she’s self-conscience about her body, paranoid, and out of touch with her emotions. In other words she’s a completely fucked up individual, and we see this by how she reacts to certain things and what she does.
Slowly, the story brings us up to date with her life and situation. This transforms her from just a randomly crazy person who is socially awkward, to a person who has experienced such a loss that has probably traumatized her so much she doesn’t know what to do with herself now. With this information we are able to piece together the driving force or premise behind her actions. One could say the premise driving this film is, loss of a loved one can bring about the loss of rationality.
When she misplaces her phone repeatedly, she blames an old man who is paralyzed and doesn’t have a lot of brain functions. She fakes trying to pleasure herself on a webcam chat with someone. Walks out into the middle of the woods where she knows there are wolves and could get lost. These actions along with more show just how much she struggles to continue living her life.
