The opening moments of Jane begin with a woman standing on the end of a wooden outcrop. Below her is a roiling ocean. The woman takes a step forward and disappears into the abyss. We soon find out that the young woman who has taken her own life is Jane. Jane’s death will drive the plot of the movie named for her as she haunts her former friends, especially our main character, Olivia played by Riverdale star Madelaine Petsch.
Olivia, played by Madelaine Petsch, lives by a very specific, very strict clock. Her day is planned out by her time of awakening, her shower, her breakfast and the time for leaving for school. Naturally, at school, her day operates on another schedule, one set by the school, but also one that is unchanging as her home schedule. Whether this is a trait Olivia has always had or one developed as a trauma coping mechanism is unknown, though I imagine this regimented life is something she chooses rather than having it thrust upon her.
