KISSED (2+ outta 5 stars) So-so "controversial" Canadian drama... the kind of movie that people "oooh" and "aaah" over because it deals with such a "taboo" topic, in this case necrophilia. But just so the audience doesn't lose their sympathy and become too disgusted, the pervert is question is played by a sweet, adorable young girl (Molly Parker). Obsessed with death all her life, she becomes a mortician and then an embalmer... insuring that she gets to spend lots and lots of time alone with the objects of her desire. She meets up with a real live boy, too... and attempts a relationship... but he has his own problems, too... which are compounded when she tells him what she does with corpses... and he becomes more titillated than shocked. Well, you can probably guess how this is all going to end (i.e. not well). The movie is very short... and there are good performances by the two main characters... so it's relatively easy to watch... it just doesn't leave much of an impression once it's all over.
