In Laura Moss’s twisted, gory, smartly-directed debut feature, a psychological-body-horror-freidnship-flick one could call "Lady Reanimator," Judy Reyes and Marin Ireland give outstanding turns as Celie, a warm single-mom maternity nurse whose daughter dies while she's at work, and Rose, an antisocial childless morgue technician working on a cure for death.
