THE BURIAL Review

THE BURIAL is a charming film that captures the essence of perseverance, legacy, and the power of justice, all set against the backdrop of a gripping legal battle. Director Maggie Betts, along with a stellar ensemble cast, delivers a compelling narrative that scratches an itch I've had for years. Tommy Lee Jones delivers a remarkable performance as Jeremiah O'Keefe, a man deeply rooted in his community and facing dire financial troubles that threaten his family's century-old funeral home business. Jones embodies the character of Jeremiah, a World War II veteran and former mayor, with authenticity and grace. His portrayal of a man determined to protect his legacy is both moving and inspiring. Jamie Foxx, as the charismatic and brilliant attorney Willie E. Gary, brings a magnetic energy to the screen. Foxx's portrayal of a real showman lawyer, initially reluctant to take on a contract law dispute, is nothing short of mesmerizing. His chemistry with Amanda Warren, who play...
