Review of Cyrus (2010) by Meredith H — 22 Jan 2011

I'm getting really tired of this awkward indie dramedy genre. It's never done anything for me, though this is one of the best I've seen. The actors are good in their parts and about halfway through it hits its stride as Reilly's character becomes more confident and Jonah Hill's character becomes more pronounced in his intentions.

Very weird in a lot of spots, and don't be fooled by the advertising; this is not a comedy movie, at least in the modern sense of the word. If you expect to laugh, you will likely be let down. Cringing, on the other hand, is definitely on the menu.
