A woman struggles to keep her family-owned funeral home afloat.

Alexandra Heller-Nicholas

The Blue Lenses

An exercise in cinematic poetry, successfully embracing the darkest of black comic elements with a genuinely heartfelt, moving story of a lost woman who has fallen between the cracks.

Father Son Holy Gore

Baltazar uses absurdism to look at how the living can be alienated enough to feel dead, and also how death can either unite us with those still living or tear us apart.

Rated: 5/5

It may be odd, and it's certainly minimalist, but there's a low-key warmth that makes Sonya's tale surprisingly poignant—as well as, yes, a little haunting.

"Ode to Nothing" is an unusual but very interesting film, whose quality becomes obvious through the direction, the acting, and the production values.

Flick Feast

Ode to Nothing is an incredibly unique look at the effects of loneliness and an exploration of the human need for connection. Pokwang delivers one of the best performances of the year.

Rated: 4.5/5
