Funerals are a tricky gathering. Funeral gatherers often have different fond memories and interactions with the deceased in the person’s lifetime. In the end, the memories of that person are different for everyone.

Maribel Verdú stars alongside the two leading men, Ewan McGregor and Ethan Hawke, in the comedy-drama Raymond & Ray on Apple TV+. The two men realize their shared father isn’t quite the same person they knew growing up with the interactions with others at the funeral.

Here is the official synopsis:

Raymond & Ray follows half-brothers Raymond and Ray, who have lived in the shadow of a terrible father. Somehow, they still each have a sense of humor, and his funeral is a chance for them to reinvent themselves. There’s anger, there’s pain, there’s folly, there might be love, and there’s definitely gravedigging.

The rest of the cast includes Todd Louiso, Oscar Nuñez, Tom Bower with Vondie Curtis, and Sophie Okonedo. Rodrigo Garcia wrote and directed the movie.
