There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, many of which are intermingled with sob-out-loud moments. It helps greatly that first-time director Chris Kelly maintains a low-key, naturalistic vibe throughout.

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.

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

Other People is the perfect balance of humor, sentimentality, and emotion. I laughed, I cried, I cheered, and at the end of the film, I stood up with the rest of the crowd.
