Burial (2019) is an interesting blend of dark comedy wrapped in a somewhat whimsical narrative. The film follows a young girl as she navigates the peculiar task of fulfilling her senile grandfather's dying wish. The tone is often light-hearted but underpinned with moments of poignant reflection, creating a unique atmosphere that balances humor with deeper themes of family and loss. The pacing keeps you engaged, shifting from absurdity to sincerity without feeling disjointed. The performances are charming, particularly from the lead, who brings a certain naivety that resonates. It’s also worth noting the practical effects used—some real creativity there, which adds to its distinctive feel. Not your run-of-the-mill comedy for sure.
