Rigor Mortis is this quirky comedy that artistically balances the absurd with a hint of somber reflection. It dives into the life of Nicole Quintero, whose world pivots on a seemingly mundane moment—a caramelized peanut—leading to her son Mani's petrification. Six years in, the film captures that unique tension of aging and motherhood, painting a bittersweet picture of Nicole's dilemma. The pacing feels deliberate, urging you to soak in the oddity of the circumstances while exploring those underlying themes of love and sacrifice. The practical effects are charmingly executed, adding a distinctive layer to the film’s oddball humor. Performances are pretty raw and genuine, making the bizarre narrative resonate on a personal level.
