I saw this film based solely on my faith in the Duplass brothers, having seen and liked the Puffy Chair when it showed at SXSW several years ago. And while their latest film has strong points most noticeably Marisa Tomei's wonderful performance, the bulk of the film was dominated by the type of creepy uncomfortable comedy that makes me shield my eyes from the screen. That finally ends as the plot switches to a tit-for-tat rivalry of affection, but then it simply ends with a wholly abrupt and insufficient serious resolution.
I'm nonplussed.
Cyrus
2010, 92 minutes, directed by Jay and Mark Duplass
