Amor zombie

Baena poses a potentially mawkish question—what would youdo if you had a second chance at love—in an offbeat, unsentimental way. Andthat’s the most interesting element...

The dialogue is entirely functional...

...again perfectly cast here as Beth’s doting father Maury Slocum, and cannily paired with Molly Shannon as his wife Geenie.

...Plaza steals the show with one foot in the grave, her rotting heroine ricocheting between adolescent snarkiness and cadaverous rage, a lethal combination of which no one around her has the measure.

Filmen är varken den självklara romcom-med-en-twist eller zombiekomedi som man kanske förväntar sig – vilket gör den så bra.
