Sorry for Your Loss is a Canadian black comedy film, directed by Collin Friesen and released in 2018.[1]
The film stars Justin Bartha as Ken Wall, a frustrated marketing executive who is ambivalent about the fact that his wife Lori (Inbar Lavi) has just given birth to their first child. When he receives news that his father has died, he travels home to Winnipeg for the funeral with hopes of inheriting money he can use to quit his job and pursue his dream of opening his own gastropub, only to learn upon arrival that his father's will stipulates that he will only inherit the money if he successfully scatters his father's ashes in the middle of IG Field.[1]
The cast also includes Bruce Greenwood as Jeff Steadman, the executor of Ken's father's will; Kevin McDonald as Ken's father's lawyer Vince Kendall; and Lolita Davidovich as Ken's mother Eve. Sandrine Holt and Darrin Rose also appear in supporting roles.
The film was shot in Winnipeg in 2017,[2] and premiered at the Calgary International Film Festival in 2018.[3] It opened commercially in May 2019.[1]
