| User ReviewDeva DThe movie info is wrong on a couple of points. The ghosts have been there for decades and it was Zel's grandmother who trapped them, not the light in the woods. If you watch to the end you'll see Zel unplug the light and it leads you to believe she planned it all along so she could have her life back. A 'don't want to lose you but I wish you would go' kind of thing. |
| User ReviewZane UA very interesting concept: a fortune-teller possesses her power via the help of an eclectic group of ghosts living out their purgatory within the confines of her home. The experience was heightened by the score, which was performed live, but I feel as though the film could stand on its own legs regardless. |
| User ReviewBevan SGreat ghost story that examines the destructive quality of superstition on your psychology - intellectually ambitious, abstract, with a great soundtrack. |
| User ReviewLanky Man PGreat film, but spooky in a way. The music really brings a feel to it |
| User ReviewDanny DDespite the experimental approach, I liked it. |
| User ReviewJenn TNot bad, low budget but decent dialogue and well acted. |
| User ReviewErica TVery strange film, but give it a chance, the story is worth it. |
| User ReviewKerry BInteresting view of a life as a Medium,from a family of Mediums, cleverly written and keeps you intrigued throughout to a insightful finale.Music dominated, with a sense of remorse when it is gone. Although the dialogue was kept to a minimum, the ample visuals help unfold the story.Possibly a little time is needed to merge into the twisted plot.... |
| User ReviewSean Michael SAs a standalone film, "All My Friends Are Funeral Singers" is slow and slightly dull. Yet, if one keeps in mind this was directed by essentially the band Califone for the release of one of their albums of the same name, one can enjoy the film a little more with their tongue in cheek. Filled with good music and sub-par technical filmmaking, "All My Friends Are Funeral Singers" is more of a moving art piece than a complete film. |
| User ReviewHeather KI saw this with a live score done by the filmmakers- the event itself was far more interesting than the movie. I don't like to throw out the word "pretentious" very often, but this is it- a few good ideas wrapped around layers and layers of sloppy poetry. (SxSW). |
