Robert Bell from Exclaim! has done a little write up of The surprise demise of Francis Cooper’s mother after it played at the CFC Worldwide Short Film Festival in June:
“It seems that when people think of family, they immediately think of dysfunction, loss, disappointment and memories of better times, at least according to this grouping of short films. While probably most notable for the inclusion of a short Feist and Cillian Murphy, it’s animation with car accidents and dead cats that proves most enjoyable…
…‘The Surprise Demise of Francis Cooper’s Mother’ is the animated short that stands out. In it, a woman accidentally kills someone with her car, a man accidentally kills his cat and another man overanalyzes the death of his mother. It’s clever, insightful and amusing all at once.”
You can read the full festival review on the Exclaim! website. Glad he liked it.
