About This Movie

D(e)AD is an interesting blend of comedy and drama, directed by Claudia Lonow. The film's tone oscillates between light-hearted banter and somber reflections on family dynamics. Tillie, the protagonist, navigates her life after her father's ghost starts haunting the family through mirrors, adding a surreal layer to their already strained relationship. The practical effects used for the ghost are surprisingly effective, lending a unique visual twist to the narrative. Performances feel raw and genuine, with a palpable chemistry between Tillie and her father, highlighting themes of unresolved grief and familial love in a quirky, offbeat manner. The pacing is deliberately uneven, mirroring the chaotic nature of Tillie's world, which keeps the viewer engaged in this unusual exploration of life and death.
