Not being able to sleep is no joke, especially when your mother has traumatized you for life. Directed by Borkur Sigþórsson, Insomnia is about a woman who’s about to turn 40, but the number is rather scarier for her than others. Emma (played by Vicky McClure) is a bigshot lawyer with a healthy family, but as her 40th birthday comes closer, she’s torn between her past and the present.
Spoilers Ahead
What happened to Patricia?
Emma and Phoebe’s mother, Patricia, started having mental breakdowns weeks before her 40th birthday. Patricia would be wandering around the house, with her face looking paler than that of a corpse. Her little daughters weren’t able to figure out what was wrong with their mummy, and her delirious behavior affected both of them. Patricia told Emma that she’s got the same bad blood as her, and she’d end up just like her.

Eva Maria Daniels, producer of independent features “Reality,” “What Maisie Knew” and “Joe Bell,” died on June 30 in London, after battling cancer. She was 43.
Throughout her career, Daniels maintained longstanding partnerships with producer Riva Marker and A24, worked as a producer for The Mill and Company 3 and served as a consultant for the Icelandic Film Fund.
“Eva died on the same terms as she lived. She played her cards close to her chest. She didn’t seek recognition when she had success. She didn’t seek pity when she suffered. I will miss her friendship greatly, but mostly I will miss seeing what she would have done next,” wrote director Börkur Sigthorsson on Facebook.
Most recently, Daniels executive produced the Berlin Film Festival selection and Max feature, “Reality,” which stars Sydney Sweeney and was directed by Tina Satter.
“Eva was hyper intelligent and had a gift for seeking out and supporting artists.

Eva María Daniels, producer on the 2020 Mark Wahlberg-starrer Joe Bell and EP on the recent Sydney Sweeney vehicle Reality from HBO, has died. The news was announced by friend, filmmaker and fellow Icelander Börkur Sigthorsson. She was 43.
Daniels focused on developing original content with socially relevant themes, launching her Eva Daniels Productions in New York in 2010.
The most recent films she was involved with include Reality, which premiered at Berlinale in 2023; Joe Bell, which premiered at TIFF in 2020 and received a wide theatrical release by Roadside Attractions; and Hold the Dark in 2018, starring Jeffrey Wright.

“This became her style,” he wrote. “She developed relationships with international filmmakers, offered opportunities for those whose talent she recognized but often lacked the means…...
