To Dust

Sometimes I wish that there was a standardized IQ test prior to leaving web reviews. Sometimes the subject of the review is the test itself.

This is a beautifully shot, wonderfully written and acted, quirky dramedy about an interesting subject. Knowing a little about Jewish culture helps but isn't necessary. Almost every line Broderick delivers is funny - he hasn't lost any of his 80s charm.

The pacing and humor will challenge those born after 1983.

"You know what this means?... It means Harold is ahead"

Jewish or not...it doesn't matter. I'm Jewish, but not Hasidic. This grabbed me at the core as a human. Such a beautiful movie. I wish they ended it with more answers. Both Broderick and Rohrig did SUPERB jobs bringing their characters to light. If only they could do another movie together!!!

I love it for many reasons. From the acting to the humor. But, especially , for idea. Yes, a not very inspired used idea but real good if the experience of the lost of loved one is not so far by you. No doubts, the film could be better. But it is a decent one and the art to not be victim of cliches to not propose easy solutions is real meritorry. A clash between lives of two isolated men . And the fair end of this story of doubts, faith and friendship. Short, just good job.

This film is so morbid, literally. It is a sad to see that the man is so disturbed and stuck due to his wife's passing, but his morbid fascination with the morbid is just very disturbing. Be prepared if you really are going to watch this. It contains very very disturbing scenes.

This is an unknown dark comedy gem, definitely worth checking out if you are into bizarre arthouse movies. It has got a gorgeous style of direction, with a dark, yet wonderful serene kind of feel to it, which I was really impressed by!

This movie is best described as a drama comedy. The drama part is about the man's unconsolable grief about his wifes death. The comedy part is the bizarre hilarious ways in which the man tries to console himself. One way of finding consolation is by burrying a pig to literally see it rotting away in the ground. You'll understand why, if you start watching...

Yes, this all might sound bizarre and even gross, but everything is done with the utmost respect for those feelings of grief everyone experiences when a loved one dies. There are many ways of grieving and this movie portrays one the most bizarre ways of grieving I have ever witnessed.

An extraoridinary movie, although it may not be suited for the faint of hearted, it is still so magnificently subtle in direction and genuinly goodhearted in nature. Really impressive and touching story about grief.
