Measures for a Funeral

About This Movie

So, 'Measures for a Funeral' is an interesting exploration of grief and legacy, really. It revolves around Audrey Benac, who's on this almost haunting journey to dig into the life of Kathleen Parlow, this obscure Canadian violinist. The film’s tone is somber, yet there's a sense of ethereal beauty that kind of lingers after you watch it. Pacing is deliberate, allowing you to absorb the weight of each revelation. The practical effects used for the ghostly possession scenes are quite striking, not overdone but effective enough to pull you in. The performances are compelling, especially from the lead. It’s a slow burn, but there’s something distinctly engaging about piecing together the past with the present.
