I attended the Film Festival in Chicago and saw three films --- they may be released into movie theaters since they all have famous people in the cast ---
#2173 "Raymond & Ray" (Chicago film fest) I liked this quirky bro film about two estranged sons of a man who has died, and they are asked to attend the funeral by their dead dad --- and also they have to dig the grave themselves. I said it was quirky.....but that's only the beginning..... they both have grudges against their dad which they uncover throughout their journey to send him off to the great beyond. They meet and are befriended by other quirky people who help them get through this. The acting was very strong -- the film moved along to the funeral rather well, but there were a few slow parts. However, the actors are so good, they were hardly noticed. I would give this a 4 and recommend it as a good drama, with quirky moments and characters.
"RAYMOND & RAY" 2022 R 1 hour and 45 Half brothers Raymond and Ray reunite when their estranged father dies - and discover that his final wish was for them to dig his grave. Together, they p[rocess who they've become as men, both because of their father and in spite of him.
