If it wasn't for the superb actress Laura Carmichael i couldn't have given this a 10. Her acting is amazing and as always looks stunning in her movies as in The Secrets She Keeps giving a perfect performance and realistic character. I loved her humour in this movie. Such a perfectly likeable character unlike her sidekick and the most irritating dying friend. Stick with this, getting past the dismal introduction and you'll find it's a gem of a road trip adventure. Yet again Laura makes this beautiful movie.

Seph and Alex have just lost a very dear friend. That is Dan who had not told anyone of his imminent demise but had been making films that eh intended to speak for him from beyond the grave.

One of his wishes was for them to take his ashes to various locations that were milestones in his life and leave a little bit of him in each one. He even has the transport worked out for them and they have to watch a part of his film at each site. This then becomes a road trip with a difference and the two girls soon find that it is more than a series of tasks for a friend it becomes a voyage of discovery for both of them.

Now this is a comedy drama but more drama than comedy as the comical moments tend to be the sort that are more incidental to life – which makes it much more watchable. It is an indie effort but has the hallmarks of a quality production and a few big names like Alison Steadman and Julian Rhind-Tutt, to name but two, are thrown in for good measure. Recommended for those who like a gentle comedy with moments of poignancy and just a dash of well placed drama.

Seph and Alex go on a road trip to scatter the ashes of their recently deceased friend Dan. Laura Carmichael and Chloe Pirrie star in this comedy... i'm thirty minutes in, and no laughs yet. (It IS listed under comedies on Netflix.) Some pretty serious stuff here.. they carry a laptop and occasionally play scenes from Dan's video-will as they visit the places he wants to be scattered. I guess the "comedy" part is the quirky characters they run into along the way. So much discussion of death. The confrontation at the ATM was annoying, as was the repeating flashbacks, and the constant swearing, berating and abuse from the guy that's already dead. I think this film has been listed under the wrong category. So... was Seph "confessing" to Alex on the cross, like Jesus ? and everyone's name is symbolic. Seph is short for Persephone... princess of the underworld. Alex... Alexandra... protector of Man. Diana, the woman they pick up, named for the Goddess of childbirth and women, and she talks about her son "Dan", which just HAPPENS to be the name of the friend whose ashes they are scattering. the irony. It's OK. Entertaining as a road trip film, but all the symbolism and the arguing and the anger can take its toll. Not a bad film, just MUCH more serious than i was expecting. Pretty heavy, serious stuff.
