More twee than any movie about serial murder has a right to be.
Jim Ridley, L.A. Weekly
Fresh
Too competent as a Fargo-esque indie murder comedy to dismiss (yet too dull to fully embrace), the Canadian Just Buried yields serviceable results from material that's got rigor mortis.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York

Jason Anderson, Globe and Mail
Rotten
Has its wonky charms, but suffers from trying too hard to be quirky.
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star
