The Dead Don't Die Cinema Release Date

A winningly eccentric way to usher in the zombie apocalypse

Though it's not breaking much new ground, this is a solid addition to the zom-com canon which stands out due to an unconventional writer/director and A-list cast.

The final three words of dialogue leave no doubt about the film's opinion on whether we're worth saving. They're punk-rock harsh. This film is punk rock in slow-motion.

Jim Jarmusch's The Dead Don't Die is a zom-com goof without a lot of bite

It’s a clumsy ending for a comedy which, past its few meme-friendly and most inspired one-liners, staggers and hobbles like the living dead it resuscitates.

Jim Jarmusch's zombie comedy, which opened the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, features a starry cast including Adam Driver, Bill Murray, Selena Gomez, Chloe Sevigny and Tilda Swinton.

Cannes 2019: Jim Jarmusch’s latest is appealing, but one-note

Jim Jarmusch’s movie, starring Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton and a bunch of other interesting people, respects the genre without committing to it.

The Dead Don't Die Brings Jim Jarmusch’s Intimate Touch to the World of Zombies

Jim Jarmusch's hipster zombie comedy, starring Bill Murray and Adam Driver, congratulates itself for doing what other movies have done better.

Bill Murray, Chloë Sevigny and Adam Driver play cops trying to protect their small town from the walking dead, but it’s not enough to save the film from floundering

In the film, what starts as a subtle undercurrent of knowing humor curdles into overt self-referentiality.

Even a ’68 Pontiac LeMans growls up for a cameo at one point, but Romero’s Johnny and Barbara are long-gone dead and Centerville’s soon to follow.

Jim Jarmusch is the master of mellowdrama—his heart isn’t really in all the blood and guts.

The absurdism wears gratingly thin in The Dead Don’t Die, whose deadpan tone gives way to tiresome, grindingly repetitive inertia.

The Dead Don't Die is a procedurally bland zomcom with little genre personality, playing as if Jarmusch invents a subgenre horror fans haven't been watching for decades.
