Running Time : 91 mins

When the father of a large family dies, it is left up to his son Daniel (MacFadyen) to organise the burial and the festivities, but when a mysterious man (Dinklage) informs Daniel that he used to be his father’s lover, Daniel finds himself having to utilise his relatives help in order to stop him from disrupting the funeral.

What a wonderful, and seemingly underrated, movie. Although there is a certain feel to this that makes it feel like it was made for TV, I still found the characters and situations to be vivid and energetic, and this made for a very entertaining movie. If only the UK could make more films of this calibre.
