Living Room Coffin (2018) User Reviews

Funny about half way

[cekadah · 6/10 · 1 November 2019]

Here's the plot - a girl (Polly) receives a 'Coffin' by two delivery men who refuse to take it away but they help her set it up in her living room. So Polly goes on the sleuth to find out who sent her this item. That's the funny part.

Then this movie takes a serious turn to examine her recently failed relationship with her ex-boyfriend. And the issue with her ill mother.

Had the director stuck with the 'Coffin sleuthing' (which is actually a Casket - there's a difference) this would have been a more engaging story. But it goes off into her emotional quest to get back with the boyfriend and her loneliness.

Nice start but falls away

Film tells the story of a woman who has a coffin delivered. She does what all of us would do if two delivery men tried to deliver us an unwanted and unexpected coffin, set it up in her living room. She investigates where it came from while dealing with an ex-boyfriend and her mother. The film is engaging till half way when it just falls apart. It just becomes a bit of an aimless mess. Its not even worth watching to end to find out why she got the coffin in the first place. It is revealed 3/4 way through and personally I thought the reason had potential but just become an anti-climax. Its a shame as it is very well acted and had potential. It just doesn't keep going.

Excellent "indie" movie

The very cute actress with the glasses from "Apartment Troubles" is in this highly entertaining and very funny movie. Existential humor if you can see that as you sit and watch this in your living room coffin.

Great supporting cast. Great story.

This movie is another great break from the Hollywood film factory movies.

Sad bits thrown in with some mystery to make it worth your time. Very good movie.

Highly recommend. Tell your friends.
