Audience Reviews for It's a Wonderful Afterlife

Sep 10, 2010

Harmless fluff which makes little sense and is even less believable but has the ever wonderful Sally Hawkins to light up her scenes, especially a fun 'Carrie' spoof.

Gordon A Super Reviewer
May 04, 2010

It's a comedy by numbers despite what I had heard about it being a semi splatter movie. There are a few laughs to be had but it was not really my kind of thing, a lot of the references went over my head too. 5/10. Fans of 'Carrie' may enjoy one scene however.

from the creators of bend it like beckham and bride and predudice, comes some more slice of indian life in the u.k, here concerning a mother looking out for her daughter whos been rejected due to her apearence, and has killed 4 people who dared critisise her, now they have returned wanting matters to be dealt with, a humorous tale, making use well of indian culture, some funny and gory moments, which works well, check out a highlight, a take on the film carrie, and the prom scene, well worth watching for that alone
