A non-binary person looks to find themselves amidst going en route to starting a new life in this excellent blend of comedy and drama from Michelle Ehlen.

Jay is beginning to be at a crossroads. Having been separated from their wife Lily, the aspiring photographer decides to go to Los Angeles to start over. However, she is invited by her childhood friend Jess to come visit her before she leaves. There, Jay meets Jess’s daughter Ava and learns Jess is reeling from her recent divorce. As Jay finds themselves at home, they go out one night and meet Tommy, a gay aspiring comic. The two soon hit it off and start to hang out a lot, much to Jess’ chagrin.

However, while on the surface, Jay is having the time of their lives again, they can’t help but think of Lily. Jay even remembers when they realize they realized the moment they had feelings for the same gender. This leads to Jay becoming a bit distant towards both Jess and Tommy because of the fear they think Jess will go back to a relationship that may not be there anymore. Jay must learn to finally find themselves and learn one of the golden rules of life to move on and start over.

This is a fantastic film for indie filmmaker Michelle Ehlen, who had made films with titles such as Butch Jamie, Heterosexual Jill and S&M Sally. Ehlen’s latest film is a well-blended meshing of comedy and emotional drama which focuses as a character study of Ehlen’s lead character of Jay. Through a combination of present day and flashback sequences, we tackle into Jay’s life story as they try to sort out their lives post-breakup.

Ehlen has two major supporting players who allow her one of end of the spectrum, provide some great comic relief while the other end allows her to be more grounded and face reality. Charlie Steers’ Tommy may not be the greatest when it comes to stand-up comedy, but he sure knows how to get a laugh out of Jay. Their scenes provide that comic chemistry, especially in a funny scene where they crash a “breast milk lotion” party. On the other end of the spectrum, there’s Shaela Cook’s Jess, who is Jay’s childhood friend who tries to keep her afloat and perhaps the mere that she too is dealing with a bit of heartbreak, she tries to get through to Jay at times.

Interestingly enough, there are some really good flashback scenes that tell us Jay’s backstory little by little. We see the relationship between Jay and their wife Lily, played by Jeneen Robinson. Their relationship is quite an emotional roller coaster. Then there’s scenes where we see a teenage Jay coming to terms with their identity. At first, she comes out as lesbian, but in a text to Tommy, Jay identifies as non-binary. Eliza Blair and Cameron Norman deserve major props for their roles of the teenage Jay and Jess as they come to terms with their friendship and acceptance of Jay especially.

Maybe Someday is a fascinating portrait of someone dealing with heartbreak and they try to start over, but finds complications. An excellent performance from lead Michelle Ehlen will make you want to check this film out.
