Jeff Baena's directorial debut has one of the weirdest plots that I've ever seen. Lovably weird, that is. Dane DeHaan plays Zach, who is grieving girlfriend Beth's (Aubrey Plaza) passing. Lo and behold, she reappears alive and well. At least that's how it seems at first. Slowly but surely, it becomes clear that Beth's not what she seems, and that everything around them is starting to change.
"Life After Beth" is the sort of movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. Falling somewhere between a romcom and a black comedy - with horror elements, mind you - it manages to be fun the whole way through. Aubrey Plaza, well, eats up her role as the dead-alive titular character. In supporting roles are Paul Reiser, Cheryl Hines, John C. Reilly, Molly Shannon, Matthew Gray Gubler and Anna Kendrick.
Jeff Baena later directed Aubrey Plaza in the 2017 comedy "The Little Hours". They got married in 2021.
