Parachute is a 2023 American drama film directed by Brittany Snow in her directorial debut.

Parachute had its world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival in March 2023, and was released on April 5, 2024, by Vertical.

Riley nevertheless brings Ethan to her apartment to have sex with him, but ultimately stops short of taking off her clothes due to her body insecurities.

Over time, Riley is still struggling with her insecurities by comparing herself to other women she meets, looking at photos of social media models, listening to voicemails from her ex-boyfriend Hunter, and hitting herself in front of the mirror, despite Ethan's attempts to help her.

Unemployed, Casey gets Riley a job as a hostess at a murder mystery dinner theater, which is struggling due to a poorly written story that patrons figure out easily.

Uncomfortable following a family argument, Riley goes outside and reveals to Ethan that Max dumped her for an Instagram model.

Riley's insecurities exacerbate while dating Ethan and she eventually pushes him away, ultimately getting consoled by Dr. Akerman.

Upset, she attempts to text Max before Casey stops her, berating her for being so caught up in her own pain that she doesn't care about anyone else.

Later, at a therapy session, Riley throws away her phone, acknowledging its distraction, and tells Dr. Akerman that while she knows the pain she's caused herself and others over the past few years, she's hopeful for the future.

This is a film that's more focused on its characters rather than trying to preach a message to its audience [and] invites viewers to take a walk in someone else's shoes.
