‘The Wailers introduces us to Yvette, Isabel, and Baby, a vividly rendered sisterhood of professional mourners missing their fourth member, Cherie, who has migrated to America to live with her son. After news of Cherie’s death, they travel from Trinidad to New York for their most important funeral of all, to restore in spirit, through a raucous send-off, the “original Four Wailing Sisters.”’ - Faizal Deen (judge)
