This is a short and bittersweet experience that is not desperate to be liked but has the courtesy not to over-stay its welcome.
There's been a trend of Cosmogonic comedies lately though this isn't a comedy. It reminded me of After Life (not the Rickie Gervaise thing, the other one) in both concept and tone.
Here, afterlife is a breezy low-key experience where there is nothing much to do but reflect and try to move on (or not).
It is charmingly sedate but it knows how to get serious.
It is perhaps because there are no wrong notes in its attempt to be small and perfectly formed that I have little more to say about it.
Not an aggressive or greatly stimulating experience but a strangely admirable one.
