Gnr E Rohrig delivers a deeply moving performance, while Broderick adds dry humor as a hapless biology professor. These two makes it really enjoyable Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review isla s This seems to me like an indie, somewhat niche film but its one I definitely enjoyed. It features very quirky characters (Shmuel and Albert) who are unlikely 'buddies', to put it one way! the unlikely situations they find themselves in, relating to Shmuel's late wife, are quite amusing. I liked the young jewish children too - how they investigate things they find out. Its very quirky, amusing and even somehow thought provoking, borderline poignant, as far as discussions about death is concerned. I thought Matthew Broderick did pretty well as a somewhat socially awkward college lecturer, trying to justify what he's doing. I suppose its a little like a contemporary Burke & Hare, to a small extent. Very strange, very quirky, yet certainly amusing, in a darkly comic way. Yes I'd recommend this film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A dour dark comedy about Hasidism, death, burial rituals, decomposition, and pigs with an act that wears thin about halfway through despite its originality. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Sweet movie. I am not Jewish and do not know a lot about the laws. I enjoyed the bound that was created in this movie. I think these are genuine concerns for others. Oh there are some disgusting decaying body scenes but they are short and can be missed by closing the eyes when you first seeing one.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review brent m When an orthodox Jewish cantor loses his wife at a young age, he has difficulty adjusting to his new circumstances, especially when he has troubling dreams about whether her corpse's deterioration is proceeding in a manner that properly allows her soul to return to source. It concerns him so much that he consults a biology professor for guidance and expertise on the subject, an unlikely relationship that leads to a dark comedy of errors, one that grows increasingly hilarious with each passing episode. Geza Rohrig and Matthew Broderick serve up big, unexpected laughs that often prove deceptively profound and sweetly sublime. This delicious little gem delivers more than what it superficially seems to offer, leaving viewers with good feelings, a warm glow and a tickled spirit.
