A touching farce about a successful director of romantic comedies in his senior years who, while addressing his Last Will and Testament, applies for a job as assistant groundskeeper in a cemetery because he'd like to work outdoors with his hands. But his family, friends and neighbors misunderstand and assume he is dying, crowding into his apartment to express their last farewells and to clumsily philosophize about the meaning of life.

Where to Land opts for quiet moments of connection, raising questions rather than giving definitive answers.

Rated: 3/4

Reader, I wept. What a beautiful movie is 'Where To Land,' crisp, brisk, wry—a comedy that’s taut yet discursive. Discernibly and distinctively a Hal Hartley movie and under eighty minutes.

Rated: 10/10

The Film Stage

A shaggy and spellbinding ode to shifting gears despite everyday life’s crippling opposition to change.
