By Christopher A (601) on 03 Jul 2013

The theme here is comedy and obnoxious sarcasm as a defense against malaise and a way of avoiding letting one's real feelings be known…

Review of The Comedy (2012)

By Nicolas Rapold (488) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 27 Jun 2013

While this could have been the perfect portrait of a certain kind of idiot, the baroque cruelties and tonal monotony go too far…

Review of The Comedy (2012)

By Justin T (783) on 05 Jul 2013

Oftentimes boring and meandering, but with a flashes of genius. Reminds me of Love Liza or maybe Lost in Translation in some ways…

Review of The Comedy (2012)

By Shane D (789) on 27 Jul 2013

Brutal. Hard to watch at times. Also hugely depressing. Not quite sure what to think of it…

After reading a few of the professional reviews on this site, I watched The Comedy more out of curiosity than from any desire to see a great…

Review of The Comedy (2012)

By Tom M (1,308) on 29 Jul 2013

I love this movie. Its disgustingly honest portrayal of an aging hipster who's full of self-loathing is very refreshing…

Review of The Comedy (2012)

By Peter F (998) on 26 Apr 2015

Given his deadpan delivery and film school background, perhaps it was inevitable that Tim Heidecker (one half of Tim and Eric) would find himself…

Review of The Comedy (2012)

By Harrison M (110) on 15 Mar 2015

A questionably satirical look into the vapid American subculture of the privileged and sensation-driven, and on impulse society, in general…

Review of The Comedy (2012)

By Ryanneevman (21) on 23 Dec 2014

I really like this movie. It is a strange one, but it is not every day when something like this comes down the pike…

By Xanifur (3) on 26 Sep 2013

This movie is mind-bendingly brilliant. It has such a personality I felt like I was somehow in this story…

Review of Logan Lucky (2017)

By Eric S (1,351) on 28 Aug 2017

Review of Creed II (2018)

By Eric S (1,351) on 17 Dec 2018

Creed 2 is nearly twice as good as it's predecessor due to it's affecting story, great returning characters, and violent boxing scenes making…

Review of Aquaman (2018)

By Eric S (1,351) on 21 Dec 2018

Although it is not the greatest superhero movie of all time and, in my opinion, not the best of the DCEU movies, Aquaman is a fun blockbuster…
