February 27, 2020 10:39PM PT A desperate woman’s good intentions make a bad situation much worse in this tense and twisty Southern noir thriller. In the opening moments of “ Blood on Her Name, ” an arrestingly twisty and suspenseful Southern noir thriller in the tradition of “One False Move, ” we’re introduced to Leigh, the working-class protagonist played by Bethany Anne Lind, with a jarring close-up that is at once explicit and ambiguous. Her face is battered, her breathing is labored, and she appears to have just gotten the worst of it in a fight. But, then again, maybe not the very worst of it. The bloodied man lying in front of her, we quickly learn, isn’t just unconscious or injured; he is seriously dead. And even before she pauses before completing a 911 call, it’s quite clear that, whatever the reason for the guy’s recent quietus, Leigh views his inconvenient corpse as incriminating evidence. This is the first of several wrong decisions ? most, but by no means all, made by Leigh ? that propel the fatalistic narrative director Matthew Pope and co-writer Don M. Thompson have devised for “Blood on Her Name, ” a film that remains relentlessly absorbing for all of its compact 83-minute length largely because it places its audience in the position of helpless witnesses to a slow-motion trainwreck. Pope and Thompson shrewdly structure their story so that, right from the start, we’re prompted to have a rooting interest in Leigh, even before we know for certain exactly how culpable she is for ? well, for what? A self-defense killing? A crime of passion? A violent conclusion to a criminal co-conspiracy? We learn the truth only gradually, as the filmmakers slowly unveil the motives of Leigh and other characters in the manner of someone slowly, almost tauntingly, peeling an onion. But, again, they persuade us to be instinctively sympathetic toward Leigh, thereby making it all the more nerve-wracking when she tries ? belatedly, ill-advisedly ? to do the right thing. If it seems like I’m being a tad evasive about plot particulars, well, that’s only because I am. Your enjoyment of “Blood on Her Name” likely will be inversely proportionate to how much you know about it ahead of time. Leigh ? played by Lind throughout the movie with exceptionally compelling and emotionally precise skill ? owns the none-too-successful small-town garage where the act of violence takes place, and she’s anxious to move the body as quickly as possible, as far away as possible. But she has a change of heart before she dumps it into a nearby lake. Rather, she feels that the dead man’s girlfriend and teenage son are entitled to have some sense of closure, or at least find comfort in the knowledge that the guy didn’t simply abandon them. So she stashes the corpse in a shed at the trailer park where they reside, and leaves behind an anonymous note expressing regret. It’s a decent thing to do, but also a terribly self-incriminating mistake. And to make matters worse, the note isn’t the only thing she leaves behind. As Leigh’s mistakes accumulate, we’re periodically given jigsaw-piece revelations about why she is doing what she’s doing, and how much what she’s done in the past is an impetus. The info comes mostly through her contacts with such vividly defined supporting characters as Ryan (Jared Ivers), her teenage son, whose own violent behavior could make him a prime suspect; Richard (Will Patton), her estranged father, a sheriff who’s willing to bend and break a few laws to protect his daughter; Rey (Jimmy Gonzales), a mechanic who appears to be Leigh’s sole remaining employee at her failing business; and Dani (Elisabeth Rohm), the victim’s girlfriend, who turns out to have more than a little in common with Leigh. The interactions and miscalculations interlock with what feels like the inevitability of unforgiving fate. At the same time, however, you are never not aware that one smart move could possibly forestall disaster. Everything leads inexorably to a dead-solid-perfect denouement that suggests a perfect moral for this drama about desperate characters driven to extremes: Once you’re well along on the road to perdition, it may not be a good idea to attempt a detour.

Nothing really new here, but it’s still good. How many movies have you seen where someone does something very bad, and then spends the rest of the film trying to cover it up, only to get into more and more trouble on the way? It’s a pretty tried and true plot. There isn’t anything exactly wrong with going that direction, obviously since we’ve seen it so many times. But it also makes it harder for such a story to make a mark for itself. That’s the essential problem facing Blood On Her Name. Matthew Pope’s modest film opens on Leigh (Bethany Anne Lind) hovering over a recently deceased body. She is clearly not happy about this turn of events. She wraps the body and takes it to a pond for dumping but her conscience gets the better of her and she decides to anonymously return it to the dead guy’s people rather than have them think he ran off. And really, her problems begin there. Not so much with the murder, but with the feeling bad about it. At only 83 minutes, there isn’t a ton to Blood On Her Name, but it takes a while to get going all the same. The first half-hour requires its protagonist to act shifty toward and lie to the entire support cast, making it hard to get into her corner. Its mystery structure doesn't help much either, as the audience is left guessing nearly as much as the other characters.?It’s only once the plot opens up in the second act that things get interesting. The entire film rests on Lind’s shoulders, though she does get help from Will Patton in a nice supporting role. Lind is great in the film. She plays Leigh’s alternating iciness and warmth, as well as her many layers of tension and fear, very well, especially since she spends nearly the entire film lying to people. And I don’t think she’s supposed to be playing a smart character, which is the most interesting choice this film makes (and it could also be total conjecture on my part). It doesn’t seem all that hard to get away with murder in Leigh’s backwoods town. Yet she screws it up at every turn. But even then it’s not certain because everyone else is very stupid as well. It can be frustrating at times, watching all these missteps seemingly for the same of plot and tension, but by the time we fully understand the crime and how it actually happened, we’re more or less invested in Leigh’s plight. Oddly, Blood On Her Name reminded me most of a Sundance movie called The Death of Dick Long. Both are about pretty dumb people in a small town dealing with a death they’d like to keep secret. They mean well, but keep getting in their own way. The primary difference is Dick Long is a comedy filled with a variety of colorful characters who all kind of have their own thing going on. Blood On Her Name is deathly serious and focused only on one subject. That’s not a bad thing necessarily, but in this case, there is a sense of identity the film lacks as a result.
