Darkest Miriam

Darkest Miriam is a 2024 Canadian drama film that explores the life of Miriam Gordon (Britt Lower), a grief-stricken librarian in Toronto who forms a romance with Janko Priajtelj (Tom Mercier), a Slovenian immigrant. As she navigates her blossoming relationship, Miriam's sheltered existence is disrupted by a series of oddly threatening letters that force her to confront the darkness of her past and open herself up to new possibilities. With its off-kilter balance of tragedy and hope, the film features a standout performance from Britt Lower as it explores themes of grief, love, and the power of human connection.
