Gnr E @RT37822449 07/24/2024 Rohrig delivers a deeply moving performance, while Broderick adds dry humor as a hapless biology professor. These two makes it really enjoyable See more isla s @RT89656869 09/02/2022 This seems to me like an indie, somewhat niche film but its one I definitely enjoyed. It features very quirky characters (Shmuel and Albert) who are unlikely 'buddies', to put it one way! the unlikely situations they find themselves in, relating to Shmuel's late wife, are quite amusing. I liked the young jewish children too - how they investigate things they find out. Its very quirky, amusing and even somehow thought provoking, borderline poignant, as far as discussions about death is concerned. I thought Matthew Broderick did pretty well as a somewhat socially awkward college lecturer, trying to justify what he's doing. I suppose its a little like a contemporary Burke & Hare, to a small extent. Very strange, very quirky, yet certainly amusing, in a darkly comic way. Yes I'd recommend this film.

See more 10/24/2020 Sweet movie. I am not Jewish and do not know a lot about the laws. I enjoyed the bound that was created in this movie. I think these are genuine concerns for others. Oh there are some disgusting decaying body scenes but they are short and can be missed by closing the eyes when you first seeing one. See more Loralee G @Lgllis 07/14/2020 Weird. Wonderful. Heartbreaking. See more dave d @RT34924333 01/29/2020 'To Dust' is a journey starring Géza Röhrig ('Son of Saul') and Matthew Broderick. The former plays an American Hasidic Jew trying to reconcile how quickly his wife is decomposing after she passes. Along the way he meets a community college professor, played by Broderick. The duo form an unlikely bond that works. It may not work for true believers in the Hasidic community, but it certainly was enjoyable. Perhaps a bit too dark, but there is a story, a friendship and a resolution. It certainly has a symbolism that can connect beyond religions. Final Score: 6,7/10 See more Read all reviews
