Little Miss Sociopath

Greetings again from the darkness. Some folks just kind of float through life feeling 'not seen' ... even though their inner voice speaks to them incessantly. This describes Clementine/Clem, a Pharmacy Technician who specializes in holding her tongue in most social and family situations. When her beloved dad dies, Clem is forced to cohabitate with her less than warm-hearted stepmom. This is the set-up for the first feature film from writer-director Miv Evans.

To clarify, death is not typically a hot topic for comedy, but this time it's front and center of some dark comedy that pushes the boundaries of the ethics most members of society subscribe to. (A relatable) Jenny Tran plays Clem. She's a repressed individual who rarely gets noticed, though her rapid-fire inner dialogue provided through narration informs us of her many insecurities, her love for her dad, and her challenging stepmom. When Dad unexpectedly passes, Jenny is bullied into caregiving for Bella (Victoria Goodhart), her uptight former hippie artist stepmom.

At work, Clem forms a rare connection with the oddball new hire. Adam (Brendan Michael Coughlin) is her 'fantasy guy', mostly because he's charming and notices her and engages with her. It matters little that he is mostly full of BS, while spinning tall tales about his background, situation, and knowledge. Add morphine to this arrangement and soon enough Jenny has a new business venture that finds her selling her soul to cash in on the elderly as a client of Swan Song Agency - featuring the world's most constantly put-off receptionist.

Add in Mrs Carter (Lisa Scott), an extraordinarily nosy neighbor, and Erica (Pamela Shaw), a flamboyant and slightly mysterious client of Clem's new caretaking service, and you have the makings of an entertaining venture that will test your own moral code - do you support Clem or are you shocked? Filmmaker Evans kicks off the film with the line, "Everyone seems normal till you get to know them." That sentiment certainly holds true in this little movie that would be quite popular at most film festivals.

The film releases on April 7, 2025.

I saw Little Miss Sociopath at a diner-and-a-movie night, and it was honestly one of the most memorable film experiences I've had. The setting was casual and fun, which ended up matching the movie's offbeat tone perfectly. I didn't know much going in, and by the end, I was completely hooked.

The story follows Clementine, a pharmacy tech who goes through a string of personal losses and ends up channeling her grief into a dark and questionable business idea. It sounds intense-and it is-but it's also really funny in this dry, slightly twisted way that just works.

Davey was a total standout for me. He's not the lead, but every time he's on screen, he shifts the energy. He's calm, a little off-kilter, and oddly magnetic. After the screening, I got to meet Eric Billitzer, the actor who plays Davey, and he was incredibly kind and gracious. It made me appreciate his performance even more.

I also had the chance to meet the director, Miv Evans, and that was such a highlight. She was thoughtful, insightful, and clearly so passionate about the film. Her direction brings everything together-the pacing, the tone, the visual style-it all feels purposeful and cohesive.

The movie looks great too. It has this raw, indie feel that fits the story perfectly. Every scene keeps you engaged, and it all flows really naturally.

I came for a casual night out and ended up genuinely impressed. Little Miss Sociopath is clever, bold, and refreshingly original. If you get the chance to see it-especially at a special event-go. And if Miv Evans or the cast is there afterward? Definitely stick around.

This movie is hysterical! All the characters were totally amazing to watch. My favorite was Mrs Carter. She appeared at the beginning and kept turning up like a bad penny. The producers must have loved her because they gave her her own music so we know whem she is coming bsck. Look out for the girl with the purple hair. She NEARLY puts Mrs Carter in her place but that job is given to someone else at the end. So sorry to have to say goodbye to those two i also thought Davy was very sweet and wanted him in it more.

As crazy as everything is it still felt real. It was impossible to guess what would happen next. Loved it!
