Summary
In a searing examination of human fragility against the unforgiving machinery of justice, "Until They Get Me" plunges its protagonist, Kirby, into an existential maelstrom after a desperate act of self-preservation. This isn't merely a tale of flight; it's a visceral odyssey into the labyrinthine corridors of a soul haunted by an instant of violence, however justified. The film meticulously charts Kirby's transformation from an ordinary individual to a spectral figure, perpetually on the periphery, her very existence a testament to the unforgiving gaze of the law. Every shadow becomes a potential pursuer, every unfamiliar face a harbinger of capture, and every fleeting moment of peace is underscored by the drumbeat of impending discovery. It’s a profound exploration of the psychological toll exacted by a life on the run, where the line between innocence and culpability blurs under the relentless pressure of constant vigilance, forcing Kirby to confront not only external threats but also the gnawing specter of her own perceived guilt in a world that refuses to acknowledge nuance.
Kirby kills a man in self-defense and becomes a fugitive from the police.
