A delicately well-crafted drama about loss and loneliness, September details the life of Anna, a single woman who lives for her dog Manu. When Manu dies, Anna awkwardly ingratiates herself into the life of neighbour Sophia, longing for her seemingly happy family life. … The tension levels rise as Sophia initially welcomes Anna into her and her family's life, much to the dislike of her husband Stathis. … The performances of Kora Karvouni as Anna and Maria Skoula as Sophia are captivating in their cat-and-mouse like relationship, one constantly trying to figure the other out.
