Sick Girl (2023) is a bold and comedic exploration of friendship and the lengths one might go to rekindle connections. Directed and written by Jennifer Cram, this film stars Nina Dobrev as Wren Pepper, a thirtysomething cashier at a stationery store who feels increasingly disconnected from her friends.

This seemingly harmless fib spirals out of control as her friends rally around her, going above and beyond to support her during this "challenging" time.
As Wren navigates the consequences of her deception, she finds herself in increasingly awkward situations, forced to maintain the facade while dealing with the reality of her friends' genuine concern. Among those affected is Leo (Brandon Mychal Smith), an actual cancer patient whom Wren befriends at a support group. The film delves into the complexities of adult friendships and the misunderstandings that can arise from even the best intentions.
