The Living Wake Ratings & Reviews
TheIndependentCritic.com
Richard Propes
The film's production design feels like it got borrowed from a Wes Anderson set, both a compliment and an insult.
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
In all, it's a peculiar piece of absurdist entertainment that occupies a singular niche in American indie cinema.
Film Threat
Don R. Lewis
Funny, touching, insane, ridiculous and brilliant are just a few words I would use to describe "The Living Wake." Films like this need to be seen so seek it out, you'll be glad you did.
Variety
Robert Koehler
In the end, however, pic defies all categorization, joining a small pantheon of pics including "Withnail & I" and Peter Greenaway's "Drowning byNumbers" that whistle past the graveyard with aplomb.
Movie Dearest
Fr. Chris Carpenter
An out-of-the-blue delight...I found (central character K. Roth) Binew to be inspiring and damn funny in his lack of a psychological/vocal filter.
Boxoffice Magazine
John P. McCarthy
An alienating experience up until the final fifteen minutes when, during the titular ceremony, it suddenly seems loveable-like an annoyingly oafish pup that won't stop nuzzling until you break down and scratch its belly.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Sol Tryon's The Living Wake seems but a protracted act of stultifying self-indulgence -- but then maybe that's the point.
Entertainment Insiders
Janos Gereben
A small, peculiar film with a big, grating personality, The Living Wake is like a party crasher at an intimate gathering, momentarily intriguing and difficult to forget, but mostly for the wrong reasons.
Moving Pictures Magazine
Jay Antani
we get the sense that O'Connell is having all the fun, leaving the rest of us to suffer through the indulgences of this aggressively awful comedy
Examiner.com
Adam Lippe
For some reason, despite the constant breaking of the fourth wall, O'Connell thinks we'll care about the twerpy Binew and find his demise moving.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Strains to accommodate its daft premise and pontificating lead.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
This is a terminally whimsical vanity project that would probably have been a chore to sit through even in its original intended format, a 20-minute stage monologue.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
Wes Anderson has much to answer for.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A refreshingly original, well-acted and delightfully bizarre amalgamation of comedy, satire, drama and tragedy that's often amusing and unpredictable, but lacks a genuinely poignant emotional core.
Village Voice
Nick Schager
Fatally eccentric.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
So insistently irritating and so consistently lacking in laughs that Sol Tryon's alleged comedy quickly becomes an exercise in exhaustion.
