Real Life

The one word I think of when I describe this movie to friends is authentic. From watching the trailer I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. But when watching the movie and seeing the story unfold I was immediately taken with all of the main characters. The title character, Grace (an outstanding performance by newcomer Madelyn Dundon), is a pebble in a lake and the ripples of her life touch those around her. It's not too often that you see a funeral director in a film that is not a cliche, but Daniel Roebuck (who, impressively, wore 3 hats here, co-writer, star and director) gives an honest and believable portrayal of the funeral director that makes the interaction with Grace real which sets up some funny but also very tender moments. Overall, the movie is sweet, sensitive but also very funny and that speaks to the care that went in to the script that kept the story grounded in real life which, day to day, under normal circumstances, sees joy and laughter turn to tears and sorry. Some movies about a tragic death may be hard to watch, but Getting Grace is handled so beautifully, that to me, it is a movie I can't wait to share with friends. The take aways from this movie are very uplifting.

not bad, not amazing.

Not what i'd typically watch, but i was curious to see what Daniel Roebuck was capable of, it really isn't a bad movie but it had the trappings of a Hallmark movie... the soundtrack needed work... the acting was great, and the birds eye scenic views were a nice touch... and it did make me misty at some parts for sure. Will be nice to see Madelyn Dundon in something else... and i think 600 characters should be reduced for reviews because sometimes there's simply not much more to say about a film or show without delving into spoiler territory. So my apologies for the filler but it has to be done.
