Manners of Dying (2004)

Critic Reviews

• Susan Walker, Toronto Star

  Calculated, in the sense of contrived, the plot of Manners of Dying is like a story within a story, re-wound over and over again, each time with a slight variation.

• David Gilmour, Globe and Mail

  After a while, to put it coarsely, you wish they'd just juice the guy and end the movie.

• Steve Tilley, Jam! Movies

  Allen's capable direction makes the most of the film's tiny $1-million budget, and Dupuis' performance is a revelation.

• S. James Wegg, JWR

  Jeremy Peter Allen has done the world of film a huge favour by bringing Yann Martel's short story, Manners of Dying, to the big screen.
