A 34-year-old woman thinks it might be time to end her life. As she makes her preparations, she meets Alex, an employee at a funeral parlor.

Cody Corrall

Chicago Reader

Even with its taboo subject matter, Emma Peeters bursts at the seams with witty humor, self awareness, and a complicated feeling of hope.

Calum Cooper

Source (Scotland)

In attempting to chase after death, the film ultimately is a celebration of life and all its highs and lows. It’s nothing especially new, but that matters little when the tone is as charming and humorous as this.

Rated: 3/5

...not only deals with suicide, but getting old and feeling lonely; to turn such subjects into an assured comedy is alchemy of the highest order...

Rated: 4/5

El Pais (Spain)

The undefined tone of the film hurts its efforts and makes the protagonist come off more capricious than what is probably intended. [Full Review in Spanish]

Emma Peeters is ultimately a little too sugary and never deviates far away from the expected framework of a romantic comedy, even if the subject is a little darker than the norm.

Rated: 3/5

The Wee Review

It's a great marriage of director and star and proof that it's possible to wring fresh life from the hoary old romantic comedy.

Rated: 4
