S S @SShol 6 days ago What a wonderful, cozy, poetically beautiful film. One to watch, rewatch, then rewatch again year after year in the holiday season. Perfectly cast, it feels as though you truly know all 14+ characters throughout the film, and like you’ve been to a grand, boisterous, loving family party and don’t want the party to come to an end. A touching final film for John Huston See more Henry D @Henry_Domke Mar 21, 2026 Slow-paced, formal, and largely confined to a handful of rooms during a dinner party. The film depends almost entirely on conversation and subtle shifts in tone. For me, the language and social interplay felt unremarkable and didn’t quite hold my interest, though it clearly resonated more with Lorna.

See more Anya S @AnyaS Jun 24, 2025 Today's viewers may wonder why this film, in which not much happens, is considered a work of art But the beautiful final scene and final voice-over on true love and mortality leaves you thinking long after the film has ended. See more MARTÍN L @RT20844837 Mar 28, 2025 El maestro John Huston nos dejó como testamento una obra maestra como "Dublineses (los muertos)" basada en la obra de James Joyce. Pocas veces la emoción que uno puede sentir llega a tanto como cuando ves llorar a su hija Anjélica por su amor juvenil malogrado y el doloroso pensamiento en voz alta de su marido que descubre que ella nunca lo amará de la misma manera y, aún peor, que él nunca sintió el amor como lo hizo aquel joven por su mujer. Vedla, emocionaos hasta las lágrimas o hasta el nudo en la garganta. Gracias al maestro Huston y al maestro North, que puso una banda sonora que acompaña a una obra tan sublime. Dios mío, cuánta belleza. "La nieve cae sobre los vivos y sobre los muertos."

Brilliant character study and beautifully subtle performances headed by the great Angelica Huston. A master class from John Huston on how to adapt great literature for the screen. An annual Christmas viewing staple in my home. See more Read all reviews
