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.

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!

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!

"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!
