The Farewell Party

[ironymaiden]

An Israeli comedy/drama about a euthanasia machine. Almost all the good parts were in the trailer. The acting is quite good, and I delighted in the cultural milieu. I didn't delight in the drama, about a woman sinking into dementia. (This is one of my automatic nopes when I'm scheduling my festival - no Alzheimer's, no mentally challenged family members, nothing described as "hypnotic".) As a whole it didn't quite hang together. Bummer, since the character writing was great and I loved the cast.
