Everything about Gazer recalls the rich history of the neo-noir genre, from its violent femme fatale to its jazzy and atmospheric soundtrack. Ariella Mastroianni leads the cast as Frankie, a young woman estranged from her daughter and struggling to hold down a job after a murky event involving her husband and her degenerative neurological condition. This condition, dyschronometria, makes it difficult for Frankie to perceive time, and we’re thrown directly into this disorienting world with her, where one of her only solaces is her own soothing voice that plays on a loop from the recording device always in her pocket.
