Why watch this film?

"The Last Right" is a dramedy in which, after a fateful misunderstanding on a flight from New York to Ireland, Daniel Murphy (played by Michiel Huisman of "Game of Thrones" and "The Haunting of Hill House") is tasked with caring for the corpse of the man he barely met on the plane who died shortly after the trip. Thus, Daniel takes on the challenge of crossing the country carrying the coffin of this man, accompanied by his younger autistic brother and Mary, a young funeral agent. Thus, we have the typical British comedy that constantly moves between humor and drama in its plot. Even though the story involves a corpse, this does not prevent the director from working the most uncomfortable and funny situations through this absurd context. A great pick for those accustomed to British humor and its way of being.
