Get low » Robert Duvall is terrifically relaxed as hermit Felix Bush in "Get Low" (Premieres), a charming psychological ghost story set in 1930s Tennessee.

Bush has lived alone for nearly 40 years, haunted by his actions in a long-lost love affair. As the old man prepares to die -- get low, that is -- he connects with a pair of undertakers (Bill Murray and Lucas Black) and a former girlfriend (Sissy Spacek), while planning to throw an eccentric "funeral party" and seek his redemption.

Duvall creates his mercurial character through a graceful, nuanced performance, Spacek radiates warmth in a role that should have been bigger, and Murray is richly sardonic as an on-the-make salesman (his "Lost in Translation" character in period clothes). If Bush's final speech doesn't quite deliver a movie's (or a life's) worth of redemption, still this warmly comic tale builds to universal truths about life, love and loss.
