About This Movie
Dying to Go Home (1996) is a quirky blend of comedy and romance set against the backdrop of an immigrant's struggle. The film captures a unique atmosphere, mixing lighthearted moments with deeper themes of belonging and the afterlife. The pacing has its own rhythm, sometimes meandering, reflecting the protagonist’s own journey. What stands out is the way it incorporates practical effects to depict the soul's journey back to Portugal—it's not flashy, but it adds a certain charm. The performances are sincere, particularly in conveying the immigrant experience, and there’s a genuine warmth that runs through the narrative. Overall, it's one of those films that linger in your mind, even if it doesn't fit into the conventional mold.
