- In "Landscape Suicide" Benning continues his examination of Americana through the stories of two murderers. Ed Gein was a Wisconsin farmer and multiple murderer who taxidermied his victims in the 1950s. Bernadette Prott was a California teenager who stabbed a friend to death over an insult in 1984. Benning's distanced approach to such grisly material is as far removed as possible from sensationalism, however. Although the acts of murder are both bizarre and violent, Benning dwells on them only minimally, emphasizing instead the details of psychological motivation, which in both cases seem frighteningly mundane. Benning has created a script which is a masterpiece of understated colloquial writing, and the actors he employs to re-enact confessional testimony and incidents recounted in trial transcripts perform with a flatly convincing lack of affect reminiscent of Gary Gilmore. The two monologues are embedded in Benning's characteristic meditations of landscape: long shots of the Wisconsin farmlands, general stores, dirt roads and pick-up trucks, and the carefully tended lawns, swimming pools, sprawling bungalows and malls of the middle-class California suburb. These images are offered in the classically spare mise-en-scene which Benning has perfected in his work as a cinematic poet of the contemporary American environment. Here, in his most accessible film so far, the beautiful, open vistas are dense with the significance of the catastrophes they engendered

Struggling with self-doubt and emotional turmoil, Jay is trapped in a cycle of unfulfilled dreams and artistic stagnation. The film opens with Jay, an introverted writer in his late twenties, residing on the couch of his young sister's apartment next to a coffee table filled with half-written manuscripts and notebooks. His potential is undeniable, yet he remains paralyzed by his insecurities. He is haunted by the constant reminders of the accolades he could have achieved and the dreams he could have fulfilled. As Jay's depression deepens, his younger sister Alicia, watches helplessly, unable to reach him despite her best efforts. Also, his older relative (Lonnie) and best friend (Andre) urge him to break free from what appears complacency, but they lack a complete understanding of what he's going through. The pep talks are not enough to help Jay overcome his inner demons. One day, Alicia has a heart-to-heart talk with Jay and gives him a self-help book to help him escape his depression; this results in a shift in his mindset. Jay begins to consistently write again, working out at the gym and pursuing new opportunities. This talk becomes the turning point that helps Jay confront his inner demons head-on. He faces the raw truth about his struggles and learns to accept that seeking help is not a sign of weakness but an act of courage. Through self-love and genuine introspection, Jay begins to find solace and healing. Aside from his sister, Jay's boxing trainer, Coach Leo, helps him go beyond his comfort zone, face his fears, and build confidence. He deals with a roller coaster of emotions as his notions of self-worth are continuously tested. Jay experiences moments of creative breakthrough and personal growth as the story unfolds, but the weight of his self-doubt continues haunting him. He starts to see glimmers of hope in his life, but deep inside, he battles with the fear of not being good enough, fearing he might disappoint those who believe in him. In the film's emotionally charged climax, after countless rejects, Jay lands his dream job at a notable internet company. The story ends with him no longer living on his younger sister's couch. "Underachiever" is a heartfelt exploration of the human condition, illustrating that the journey to fulfillment and self-acceptance can be rocky. The film delicately portrays the complexities of depression, self-worth, and the power of resilience, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, hope and healing are within reach when we embrace vulnerability and seek the support we need.
