A Wake

Oh, man, this movie was a dumpster fire, and I was here for it.

The assembly of the wake-food stew was a parable for how the movie was edited.

The most believable aspect was that all the women in this family were definitely related to each other.

The music and tonal shifts confused me so much. The graveyard scene?! Is this a horror movie now?! You just never know.

And yet…more than a few moments really got to me emotionally. And randomly there’d be a very artistic shot mixed in. There was real heart to parts of this movie, and I think the idea of it was good.

And the two leads were actually so great.

I’m not 100% sure this movie wouldn’t be better upon a second viewing, but that’s absolutely not going to happen.
