The story of a toxic bromance between a kind and reliable pushover and an impulsive, angry, and selfish narcissist.

What is noteworthy about this movie is how well it portrays the intricacies of the restaurant business.
An underperforming, unfocused, and unhappy 34-year-old can’t quite break free of her youth or make the stride into adulthood.
A poignant picture of a languid Harlem summer that is at its best when it yields to an easy, naturalist tone.
An impressionistic and at times powerful meditation on social alienation, masculinity, and the grappling of faith.
Peter Sarsgaard stars as a house tuner, hired to go into the homes of the depressed, the sleep-deprived, the anxious, or all of the above, and listen deeply.
A dramedy that works better as a character study of a young woman whose bravado and endless wisecracks are an emotional defense.
If you’re looking for a poignant but somewhat straightforward (and, at times, generic) story line, this movie will give you all the catharsis you’ll need.
A packed, well-oiled vicious circle that speaks volumes and takes no prisoners.
