We’ve had WikiLeaks and the Panama Papers. In this whimsical and sweet-natured Belgian satire it’s Death Leaks – an almighty cock-up where everyone on Earth (or at least everyone with a mobile) gets a text telling them how long they have to live.
It turns out that God exists. He’s living in a flat in Brussels and is a bit of a bully – sitting on His arse all day drinking beer and torturing humankind like a bored kid pulling the legs off a spider. We usually hear about His son, but it’s His 10-year-old daughter who unleashes Death Leaks and escapes from the flat (through a washing machine) to go out into the world and find some apostles like Her big bro. This is a film with a big heart and an even bigger imagination.
