But the troubling question at the heart of this liberating, sunlit, deceptively simple but extremely complex and fairly formidable film is: should the law or the community itself decide the fate of its citizens?

The question of why the law must always be upheld, regardless of consequences, gives this light, amiable movie a surprising heft and weight.

It manages to feel unique and different ... It's funny too, which certainly helps, and is benefited immensely by a wonderful cast of big names and unknowns that help make this Linklater's freshest film in quite some time.

It looks like a southern gothic and feels like a particularly hilarious farce, but Bernie is not at all what you think.

Black is terrific. Rather than winking at the audience, he plays Bernie as a guy who's thoroughly unaware that there's anything unconventional about his behavior.

a well-rounded dramatic film taken from a refreshingly uplifting perspective.

Propelled by a perfectly cast trio of stars whose eccentricities shine in singular character roles, Bernie is charmer.
