Reviews for In Memory Of My Father
There’s more than a whiff of Festen and Altman in first-time director Christopher James’s frantic, enjoyably overstuffed funeral drama.
Self-aware but self-regarding indie navel gazing; no cause for celebration.
If you’re a fan of jaundiced views of Hollywood or unedifying portraits of dysfunctional families, look no further.
Despite the dark tone, the likeably unlikeable ensemble cast is uniformly excellent, and there are some real laughs to be had.
Hand-held cameras and semi-improvised dialogue lend it realism, while the flurry of well-crafted comic situations it creates brings it to heights of hilarity.
There is not a false emotion running through In Memory Of My Father. It maintains a screwball sense of absurdity but paces itself to allow the humanism to shine through.
