Jethica feels like a ghost story told on a cool night next to a crackling campfire… or in the backseat of a car in an abandoned parking lot post-car sex, which is actually where Elena (Callie Hernandez) is recounting the story of how she killed someone to her hookup. As she speaks we start to see the story unfold before us with all the detail and witty tongue-in-cheek humor that any person telling a story would include. Because of that conceit, the movie is a lean 63 minutes of an interesting story well-told — and that’s what makes it great
Jethica is playing at the 2022 South by Southwest Film Festival
