Get Low

Indie, Dry Comedy
4.5 stars
Really good bittersweet movie, albeit a little slow. Robert Duvall stars as a mean old man in the early 1900’s who has alienated himself from society and wants to have a living funeral to hear all the "stories" and gossip people have been telling about him. Lucas Black (Legion, Jarhead) and Bill Murray co-star as funeral directors and Sissy Spacek plays a kindly woman in town. It's a dry comedy but there's some sniffles near the end. It’s probably unfair that I described it as “slow” but I find most movies that take place in ‘Small Town USA’ in the 1800’s and early 1900’s seem kinda slow. Well acted. Good movie.
