Ratings and reviews

Murder Made Easy is a clever new release indie murder mystery directed by David Palamaro. I became aware of this film due to some buzz at the Dances With Films festival at the Chinese Theatres in Hollywood and I'm very happy to see that it has now been released for all of us to watch at home. Murder Made Easy is a murder mystery about a widow named Joan who wants to get a measure of revenge on some people who she believes wronged her husband. Her friend Michael is her accomplice as they lure them into a dinner party. This film is very well acted, with a standout performance from Jessica Graham in the lead role. The various dinner guests are also quite good at being eccentric or annoying, which is exactly what they needed to be. MME is also well written and it might remind some of Clue or an Agatha Christie story. The film is low budget, as many indies are, but the movie smartly takes place all in one home and they go all-in on making this a successful chamber play. I highly recommend Murder Made Easy to anyone looking for a good murder mystery.
