Actor Langston Stanfield (Marc Maron) has led a vain, shallow, and narcissistic life marked by five ex-wives, a stalled film career, and a daughter he never met. Now sixty, he is a man who has spent his life chasing false idols without ever noticing the cost. When out-of-the-blue he is told he has six months to live, unlike others who might reflect, reconnect and repent, Langston does something else entirely. He becomes consumed by a single absurd question: "When I die will I be included in the Academy Awards' In Memoriam montage?" For Langston, this is the only immortality that matters. As he sets out on his misguided journey, Langston is forced to revisit his many failures. Supported by his long-time friend and manager Walter Zith (Michael McKean) and bounced between the formidable women in his orbit, including his therapist (Lily Gladstone), two ex-wives (Judy Greer and Sharon Stone) and his daughter (Talia Ryder), Langston becomes a man trying to complete a Hail Mary in the waning days of a misspent life. In the end, In Memoriam asks whether a man this lost can find his way -- and whether finding it this late is enough.

Carla Hay Culture Mix Jul 2
In Memoriam is a witty comedy/drama about an egotistical famous actor, who comes to terms with what love and legacies mean to him when he finds out that he has cancer. Mark Maron leads a terrific ensemble that can rise above some of the movie's flaws. Go to Full Review Marshall Shaffer The Playlist Jun 24

It’s as if Judd Apatow’s similarly death-driven dramedy "Funny People" and an episode of "The Studio: are vying for dominance over what this movie really is. Go to Full Review David Gonzalez The Cinematic Reel Jun 16

7/10
The relationship between Langston and Maura becomes the true heart of the film. If you were tuning in for Maron and his solo journey, watch the duo and see Ryder steal their scenes and shine. Go to Full Review Pete Hammond Deadline Hollywood Daily Jun 10
In what could have been a one-joke premise though instead turns out to be a sharp character study of a man nearing the end and finding out the real meaning of life before his hits the end credits. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
