Next Exit

Next Exit (Hulu) is a 2022 science fiction comedy-drama film starring Katie Parker, Rahul Kohli, Rose McIver, Karen Gillan, and Tongayi Chirisa.

from Wikipedia:
A scientific study known as Life Beyond, launched by Dr. Stevenson in San Francisco, allows people to commit painless suicide with the knowledge that an afterlife does exist. In New York City, two ready-to-die strangers, Rose and Teddy, randomly end up sharing a rental car for a cross-country trip to their respective Life Beyond appointments.

This is thought-provoking, a fascinating look at what assisted suicide would look like if you knew your consciousness would live on in an actual afterlife.

  4. It sounds a bit like Passages by Connie Willis, but not quite. Hope it was a good day.
