Review of Death at a Funeral (2007) by Claired. — 13 Oct 2007
The funniest comedy I've seen in years. Working from a script by Dean Craig, the ensemble of crack British actors cannot be praised enough, with standouts to include Alan Tudyk, Daisy Donovan, Peter Dinklage , Andy Nyman and especially Matthew Macfadyen, whose nuanced performance as the the uptight son trying to give dad a dignified send-off anchors the entire movie while remaining hysterically funny.
Director Frank Oz is at his best here, working on a small scale with a talented but non-star cast. Filmed at Ealing Studios in England, DAAF does this heritage proud. Highly recommended.
