Queen of Earth is a 2015 American psychological thriller film written, co-produced and directed by Alex Ross Perry.

Knowing of Catherine's grief, her lifelong friend Virginia invites her to spend a week at her parents' cabin.

Catherine begins drawing a portrait of Virginia as the two spend their evenings discussing their personal relationships.

She begins to lose awareness of time and her surroundings, and after a dinner where Rich mocks her mental struggles and callously suggests she use her recent grief to promote a new art career, she calmly and witheringly insults him, blaming him for being an embodiment of all the worst things in the world.

The next morning, Catherine confronts Rich and blames him for getting in the way of what should have been her week with Virginia, but he remains unsympathetic, saying he hates her because he considers her a spoiled brat.

On July 30, 2014, it was announced that Alex Ross Perry would direct the psychological thriller film which he wrote about two women at a beach house, in which Elisabeth Moss would star as lead, while Joe Swanberg would be producer.

[4] On September 18, Patrick Fugit was cast to play a friend of one of the women in the film, who also comes to the beach to spend time with her.

The website's critical consensus reads: "Led by a searing performance from Elisabeth Moss, Queen of Earth is a demanding – and ultimately rewarding – addition to writer-director Alex Ross Perry's impressive filmography.
