Bryan C Big fan of indies. Came across this one by way of a friend... glad I did! The acting, story and directing was great. Without giving away too much, nice to hear a good message these days. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/02/23 Full Review Sara W Really enjoyed this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/23 Full Review Mark H I greatly enjoyed Magpie Funeral. I love movies about ordinary people, going about their lives and being presented with situations along the way. I enjoy seeing how they respond to those events. I felt that the dialogue was well written and genuinely reflected real human emotion believably. The story is cohesive and easy to follow. I love happy endings and Magpie Funeral has that too! There's also a cute little girl, the antagonist boss and great acting by all the principals. I hadn't seen Darren E Burrows in anything since Northern Exposure. He still has the chops and boy, does he look like his father. I loved the imagery of all the bird sequences and especially the funeral itself. How did they capture that? Greg Green has hit a home run with this film! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/23 Full Review Jeni L Loved it! Absolutely loved Darren Burrows emotional performance as Sy; a struggling screenwriter with a heart of gold; what a pure heart. Beautiful, heartfelt story about love, loss and human connection. It is that movie that makes you feel good, but also pulls at your heartstrings. A must see, and I hope we see more! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/23 Full Review Ann D We loved this movie! It is definitely a must see feel good movie! It has excellent casting all the way around, and who doesn't love Darren Burrows! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Derrek B "Magpie Funeral" - If you are a dreamer, romantic, and simply like sweet stories, this movie is for you! It stars Darren Burrows of Northern Exposure fame, and he does a tremendous job as Sy, and the rest of the cast are so sweetly sincere. But even if Darren wasn't in it, I'd still love it! Give this indy film a shot! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
