If she finds someone who wants to die… isn’t that ethical? Isn’t that a win-win? She gets to survive; he gets to stop hurting. Here is where the movie breaks your heart in the best way.

And Paul, this boy who walked into the night fully intending to disappear, suddenly finds himself in a 24-hour diner at 3 AM, teaching a 200-year-old vampire how to use an arcade punching machine. He is laughing. He is eating poutine. He is, for the first time in years, not thinking about the exit. The title is a "seeking" ad. A personal classified.

Imagine if we were all that specific. Imagine if we walked into the room and said, "I am damaged. I am hungry. I am terrified of hurting you. Do you want to watch the sunrise even though it burns my skin?"

Have you seen this? Does the title make you uncomfortable or curious? Tell me I’m not alone in crying over a goth teenager and a girl who sparkles in the dark (but not in a Twilight way).

Sasha doesn't kill Paul. She keeps making excuses. "It’s a school night." "The moon is wrong." "You haven't finished your fries."

The film (dir. Ariane Louis-Seize) is a quiet Canadian gem from 2023 that is slowly, rightfully, finding its cult audience. But before we talk about the cinematography or the deadpan delivery, let’s just sit with that title.

Go find it. It’s on MUBI in most regions. Bring tissues. Leave your cynicism at the door.

Humanist Vampire. (I have a strict moral code, even in my hunger.) Seeking. (I am lonely. I am looking for you.) Consenting Suicidal Person. (I am terrified of causing pain. I need you to tell me it’s okay.)
