Other People uses subtle humor to explore grief and loss in a way that is both respectful and impactful.

Inherently melodramatic, the film belongs to Ms. Shannon, who vividly etches Joanne in a full end-of-life range: funny, loving, angry, regretful, exhausted, resigned.

Poignancy is a difficult thing to achieve, since it can come off as inauthentic or dumb. "Other People" gets there because David, Norman and Joanne do not want our pity.

"Other People" breathes new life into the formulaic, dark comedy about death.

Cancer and coming out aren't exactly fresh topics for an indie film, but here they have the authenticity of lived experience, and both Shannon and Plemons are exceptional.

Boasting two sensational performances from stars Jesse Plemons and Molly Shannon, it's one of the best independent features to hit screens this year.

It's the kind of film with perspective that can only be derived from personal experience rather than artifice.

Emotions run deep and wide here; anyone who's ever lost a parent, longed for love and acceptance, or tried to find his or her true self should easily relate. It's a terrific film.

Other People is gentle, heartfelt, and of a delicate build. Kelly's best observations are small but true: the touching banality of a bad pop song, and that "other people" is in fact most people, if you're paying attention.

Smart, lovely, funny, occasionally edgy, slightly cynical and ultimately heart-tugging.
