Review of Cyrus (2010) by Órla N — 25 Jul 2012

Based on the strong performance by Jonah Hill as the titular Cyrus, this dramatic comedy is as straightforward as it is ordinary. A melancholic tale about a mommy's boy, who wants to destroy his mother's relationship with a stranger in a most smart and crafty way.

Although it lacks some crucial energy, the story may appeal to a mainstream viewer with its witty comedic remarks and attractive theme.
