The Dead Don't Die

It didn't anger me as much as others, but I am just baffled by this film. Such a bizarre mix of keen attention to mise-en-scene combined with ridiculously ham-fisted ideas that just come off as clumsy and out of touch. Doesn't do anything for the zombie genre, doesn't really function as a comedy, just perplexing.

Droll zombie movie starts to wink at meta-ness but never really pays off or differentiates itself enough from the fold, though Swinton is wonderfully odd.

Tedious, boring and a complete waste of an incredible cast. Couldn't wait for the credits to roll.

Deadpan without the humor, despite impressive cast.

Not the absolute worst but I was very unimpressed.

Very weird, and crossing the limit between deadpan and just plain sounding bored all the time. I guess it's a novelty, though it is not terribly exciting. The random 4th wall breaks are odd.

Jarmusch's lower tier is better than most directors' top tier.

Incredibly slow and boring. I couldn't watch past the 50 minute mark. I have no problem with slow paced films, but this is 103 minutes of filler. The dialogue tries to be deadpan, but fails, and I have a HUGE soft spot for deadpan. A waste of potential given the cast; Famous faces such as Bill Murray, Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Steve Buscemi, heck, the intro is done by Sturgill Simpson. The theme in the film is so obvious, the directors must believe we'd be too stupid to figure it out on our own.

really funny and I "get" the whole point of the movie and all. but the ending kinda swerves into copaganda and the heavy handed themes feel like sh*t alongside the star power and filmmaking excess. adam driver rules though
