About This Movie

Raspberry, directed by Julian Doan, dives into the heavy yet quirky atmosphere of a family grappling with loss. It’s a comedy-drama that balances the absurdity of death with deeply human emotions. The pacing feels intentionally uneven; it mirrors the awkwardness of saying goodbye. You’ve got undertakers hanging around, and the interactions are both heartfelt and humorous, which gives it a unique edge. The performances are noteworthy, especially from the son who’s really wrestling with his father's passing - you can feel the weight of that. The practical effects aren’t flashy, but they serve the story well, grounding the film in a relatable reality. It’s distinctive in how it handles grief without falling into clichés.
