“The summer film season seems to be jammed with films about forgiveness. Last week we saw Todd Solondz quirk about it and this week — with the help of Robert Duvall and Bill Murray — first-time feature-length filmmaker Aaron Schneider gives it a go in Get Low. Time-warping back to 1930's Tennessee, the film tells the true tale of Felix Bush (Duvall), a mysterious recluse who decides to throw himself a living funeral party to put to rest the rampant hearsay. Low on action, but high on performances (Duvall is tremendous and Murray is deliciously wry), Get Low is the slow and steady turtle that holds its head high as it crosses the finish line.”

Get Low says:
When much-feared hermit Felix Bush (Robert Duvall) comes to town with a wad of cash and announces his intention to preside over his own funeral, fast-talking mortician Frank Quinn (Bill Murray) smells a big payday in the air. Frank sends his young apprentice, Buddy, to charm Felix and win his business. As the day of the unusual funeral approaches, Buddy uncovers a long-held secret involving Felix, a local widow (Sissy Spacek) and an Illinois preacher.
