September Says: A Gripping Thriller Exploring Sisterhood and Tension in the Irish Countryside

Mubi has dropped the official trailer for September Says, an atmospheric and thrilling drama set against the moody backdrop of Ireland. Adapted from Daisy Johnson's novel Sisters, the film is written and directed by Ariane Labed. The story revolves around the complex and increasingly tense relationship between two sisters, July and September, who are bound by an intense, yet conflicting bond. While September is protective and deeply mistrustful of others, July is curious, open, and eager to explore the world beyond their small, isolated circle. This stark contrast between the two creates a tension that permeates their every interaction, and their single mother, Sheela, struggles to manage the growing dynamics.

 

The narrative takes a dark turn when September is suspended from school, forcing July to fend for herself and begin asserting her independence. This shift does not go unnoticed by September, leading to friction between the two siblings. The tension escalates when the family retreats to an old holiday home in the Irish countryside, hoping to find solace and escape from their troubles. However, the remote location brings its own set of challenges as July begins to experience unsettling changes in her relationship with September, and a series of surreal, disorienting encounters slowly unravel the family's already fragile connection.

 

Starring Mia Tharia, Pascale Kann, and Rakhee Thakrar, September Says promises to be a gripping exploration of family dynamics, emotional conflict, and the unsettling nature of personal growth. With a haunting atmosphere and a plot that blurs the lines between psychological thriller and emotional drama, the film pushes the boundaries of family tension and sisterly rivalry. Mubi will announce the release date soon, so fans of intense, character-driven thrillers should be sure to stay tuned.
