Next Exit is a moody and haunting character exercise, centering around the terrific central performances by Katie Parker and Rahul Kohli, but a little underbaked otherwise.

After a research scientist proves she can track people into the afterlife, strangers Rose and Teddy drive across the country together to join the scientist's study and leave the world behind. As they humorously quarrel from New York to San Francisco, they meet various people who force them to reckon with what is really driving them.

What are critics saying?
Elfman’s directorial feature debut has enough to hold it together, including a tremendous cast and character dynamics that are thoughtful, interesting, and complicated.
Mali Elfman’s directorial debut Next Exit, sets out on a journey towards death, but along the way, it is filled to the brim with life and questioning about what it is to really live. What’s fascinating is that Elfman penned the script over a ten-year period, yet it so perfectly encapsulates the here-and-now.
Despite its great performances, Next Exit is a mess of a movie that fails to take advantage of its own supernatural premise.
