Meandering movie set in the '30s about a reclusive local bogeyman (Duvall) who decides to have his own funeral while he's still alive so he can tell his story. Good performances from Duvall and Spacek and delightful as always to see Bill Murray take a break from golf but they can't save this trite, overlong drama from itself.

Enjoyed the first hour, but then it fell away. The whole 'reveal' at the end didn't seem big enough to hold an entire plot on. The performances were solid, didn't think some of the music choices matched the tone of the film.

This movie shifts in tones throughout, but very likeable.

A sweet and very melancholy film about making sure you leave this planet with your soul cleansed, Robert Duvall gives a pretty bloody fantastic performance and he's well assisted by a supporting cast headed up by Bill Murray. On Netflix UK and well worth a watch.

Different kind of story (purportedly based on a real event) where an old hermit decides to have a "funeral party" for himself while he is still alive. The film also has a central mystery where we get hints that he was involved in something long ago that led to him cutting himself off from the rest of the world. Duvall gives a very good performance.

Had never heard of this movie. Only watched it because it had Bill Murray and I hadn't seen it yet. Having no idea of the plot or what to expect, I was very pleasantly surprised. The story pulled me in immediately. Robert Duvall was phenomenal. I highly recommend this movie. A hidden gem.

"Get Low" cuenta la historia de un ermitaño con un oscuro secreto en su pasado que lo ha atormentado por mas de 4 decadas; antes de morir, decide hacer un funeral donde por fin puede revelar su trauma. Aunque esta pelicula cuenta con buenos actores, en realidad todo gira alrededor de la actuacion de Robert Duvall como Felix. Duvall logra un retrato conmovedor de este hombre que ha vivido tanto tiempo como un recluso, conviertiendose en el chisme del pueblo.
"Get Low" es una pelicula de modestas intenciones que esta muy bien actuada y dirigida. Ninguna emocion esta explotada de mas forzando a la audiencia a simpatizar con Felix (Duvall lo logra facilmente con un rostro lleno de recuerdos y dolor). Recomendable.

Robert Duvall should have been, at the very least, Oscar-(or even Golden F’n Globe)-nominated for his performance in GET LOW. He’s amazing in it. He’s easily the best part of the entire film. Just his big climactic speech by itself is award-worthy.

The rest of the movie….not so much. It’s good. It’s nice to look at. The story is interesting and compelling. The music is enjoyable. The other performances, including Bill Murray and Sissy Spacek, are all good. But, none of it is spectacular. Except Duvall.

He’s the main reason to watch (and write about) this movie.

Nagyon szerethető történet, jó karakterekkel, mélyebb mondanivalóval olyan igazi szívfacsaró mozi.

I didn't think it was possible, making an odd period piece starring Bill Murray and Robert Duvall that is sleep inducing. Get Low isn't boring because it's slow, it's boring because it thinks it has somewhere interesting to go and takes its time getting there. There is no payoff. The performances are fine but the characters, especially Duvall's, are ultimately dull because their zaniness is always reeled back in a failed attempt to generate heartfelt moments. Bummer.
