The Burial

About This Movie

The Burial is a fascinating blend of drama and history, directed by Margaret Betts. The film captures this unique dynamic between Jeremiah O'Keefe and Willie E. Gary, a funeral home owner and an attorney, respectively. Their chemistry is quite something—Jeremiah’s desperation contrasts sharply with Willie’s smooth charm, creating moments of levity amidst the serious themes of corporate greed and racial injustice. The pacing keeps you engaged, balancing tension and humor effectively. Performances are solid, especially from the leads, who bring this unlikely partnership to life. There’s a rawness to the storytelling that feels refreshing, and the practical effects used in certain scenes lend a genuine touch to the emotional weight of the narrative.
