One of the most impactful
scenes comes from Kate (Chrissy Metz) who, still having not processed her own father's death, is the most
emotional at William's
funeral.
We'd be foolish not to give some sort of shout out to other terrific
scenes throughout the year, like the hilarious
funeral sequence in Li» l Quinquin, which had us doubled over from laughter; both the border crossing and night vision sequences in Sicario; the ending of Carol, which should get an
emotional response out of even the coldest souls; the opening long take in Buzzard, a painfully funny experience much like Entertainment; the bonkers final act of Jauja; a scorching
scene from The Fool where the town mayor lays into her corrupt staff; everything that happens at Mamie Claire's house in Mistress America; the intense argument between Gerard Depardieu and Jacqueline Bissett in Welcome to New York; the tightrope sequence in The Walk, and much, much more.
Newell's direction switches smoothly between affecting intimacy and sequences of rowdy chaos; perhaps the film's trump card, however, is its
emotional honesty, particularly in the poignant and sobering
funeral scene.
