  If Adam Driver died and came back to life and tried to kill me...I’d let him.

  Between this, Greener Grass, and Beach Bum, 2019 is definitely the year for weird and unique comedies. Like those other films, this is a hard one to recommend because you’re gonna have to have a pretty specific sense of humor and be in a pretty specific mood to get any sort of enjoyment out of it. It’s really stupid, and very self-aware, but it handles both those aspects in a way that isn’t at all pretentious. Again, some people will probably despise this, but I had a pretty fun time with it.

  theres a scene in this movie where a nerdy guy compliments a pretty girl's car by saying it reminds him of romero and the girl says "nice film knowledge" and then the guy stares at her and cgi stars appear over her head before she drives away and its not even the worst scene in this movie

  Review by davidehrlich ★★★ 8

  Jim Jarmusch’s recent preoccupation with life at the end of the world (and the cultural decay that comes with it) arrives at an amusingly literal conclusion in “The Dead Don’t Die,” a sluggish but knowing zombie comedy that rearranges the bones of “The Night of the Living Dead” into a resigned lament for a society on the brink of collapse. And while exhuming George Romero’s metaphor-heavy corpus might seem like too obvious a choice in our current age of smart phones and stupid presidents, this (un)deadpan apocalypse makes that obviousness the point.

  We all know — to quote a line from the film — that “Nothing is happening normally right now,” but it’s hard not to be paralyzed by the…

  Review by matt lynch ★★ 7

  "I'm just, you know, dealing with it in my own way."

  Honestly I'm fine with the parts of this that are a charming, frequently melancholy goof, Jarmusch simultaneously relaxing with his characters' cute foibles and lamenting their blindness to more important concerns. But most of it is terribly old-mannish, some of it is sadly half-assed, and the last ten minutes are downright embarrassing. This has to be his worst film.

  blaming individuals for the faults of the world is easier than critiquing the systems that enable them. awful in every way

  Review by Owen ★★★½ 11

  I mean, does everybody on Letterboxd just hate fun? I must’ve seen a completely different movie from everyone else, lmao, because this was hilarious at points and had some great political satire that I absolutely loved, along with a really great self-aware gag near the end. Seems like it thinks it’s smarter than it actually is, and it’s fairly anticlimactic among a ton of characters that don’t really get any development, but I wasn’t expecting a future Best Picture winner. Seriously, it seems like everybody on this site judges a film like this at such a high standard and I have no idea why.

  Review by Esther Rosenfield ½ 11

  Easily -- EASILY -- the worst film I've seen in the last five years. Like an exquisite corpse script written alternately by a Redditor (Driver's insufferably "meta" Deadpool schtick and a sense of humor that just involves """weirdness""" and saying the same lines over and over again) and an NPR host (Buscemi's inscrutable "Keep America White Again" hat and repeated fracking references), and directed apparently by no one, because I'm hard pressed to think of a single memorable image or even like... idea in this thing. This is one of the only times in my life I've actively considered walking out of a movie, and I almost did. But when it got to the part where zombies were wandering around…
