Full review: https://movieswetextedabout.com/we-bury-the-dead-movie-review-daisy-ridley-delivers-a-masterclass-in-stoic-despair/ Rating: B- "We Bury The Dead ends up being a positive experience, where technical excellence and a sweeping central performance try to compensate for a script that loses its breath and coherence in the home stretch. Although it doesn't manage to keep the promise of its unique premise …

"We Bury The Dead" is truly compelling for the first half of the film but then loses its momentum. As the film begins, it crosses a spectrum of emotions from chilling, horrific to ultimately tragic.

Not a zombie movie I mean, yes, there are zombies in this movie, but this is not a movie about zombies. They are just a way to highlight and drive parts of the narrative.

It explores parts of the human condition which are important, but I would rather have watched a good zombie-movie.
