Life After Beth

Filmen är varken den självklara romcom-med-en-twist eller zombiekomedi som man kanske förväntar sig – vilket gör den så bra.

The dialogue is entirely functional...

...Plaza is terrific. She commits so fully to her rabid, Romero-esque alter ego, she chews the movie up.

...again perfectly cast here as Beth’s doting father Maury Slocum, and cannily paired with Molly Shannon as his wife Geenie.

...Plaza steals the show with one foot in the grave, her rotting heroine ricocheting between adolescent snarkiness and cadaverous rage, a lethal combination of which no one around her has the measure.
