Ingrid Jungermann

“Women Who Kill”

Jungermann (The Slope, F to 7th) also directed and starred in this wry comic thriller about a true-crime podcaster who thinks her girlfriend might be a murderer. Exes Morgan (Jungermann) and Jean (Ann Carr), get entangled in drama—and each others lives—when Morgan begins dating mysterious Simone (Sheila Vand).
