In many films, from time to time, we assist to funeral watch, but for only a couple of minutes. Here, it takes more than fifteen, and we assist to the family members behaviour, arguments concerning for instance money matters. The family in question is Muslim and acting is over the top, pulled by pro or non pro folks who act as in real life. Short but accurate analysis. Don't confound with another French medium movie, also called LA VEILLEE and speaking of the very same subject.
