Inside a Funeral Hall (2022) Review: Mourning as Performance

Inside a Funeral Hall is Lee Ho-hyun's small Korean ensemble drama about a family gathered for a funeral, a contained, wry look at grief, money and pretence.

Mostly yes, for fans of intimate Korean indie drama. It is perceptive and often wryly funny, though its modest scale will not suit everyone.
