Mister America
By Paul Weissman October 8, 2019
The humor here is so dry, it’s arid.
A dark screwball comedy set in backwoods Alabama.
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.
From the get-go, director Guy Nattiv’s visceral depiction of neo-Nazi Bryon Widner’s escape from his white supremacist surrogate family demands a reaction from the audience.
A deeply disturbing film with a cast firing on all cylinders.
The entire film hinges on Marc Maron, and he makes it worth seeing.
