Review: Friendship is a dream of comedy fever with power supply from rabbrivids that was funny

I went to Friendship Knowing that it would have been embarrassing. How, deeply embarrassing and strange. But I was not yet prepared as it would become intensely inducing to group. There were moments so uncomfortable that I literally had to look away. I couldn’t watch!

Yet, through all the dimensions, I was laughing at my ass. Somehow, this dark comedy manages to arm the discomfort in the funniest possible way. It is one of the rare films that made me laugh stronger than anything has seen for a long time.

Paul Rudd AND Tim Robinson They are a game made in a paradise of the unbridled comedy. Rudd interprets him fresh and enigmatic like Austin, a new fascinating neighbor, while Robinson turns into a wonderfully not filtered performance like Craig, a man whose social despair bleeds through every word and movement.

Robinson’s thing is that he does not detach himself as if he is trying to be fun, it is. It is so committed to its strange and volatile character that you are not sure to laugh, cry or both.

Even if the film is written and directed by Andrew deyungYou can absolutely hear Robinson’s digital fingerprints everywhere. The tone, the rhythm, the way in which the scenes are transformed into total chaos, everything is very in line with the type of comedy for which it has become known.

That anxious and almost obsessive energy gives the film its wrist. It never allows you to satisfy you. Or you are tense, waiting for the next social error or doubled from how far it pushes a little.

In the center, Friendship It is a wild nightmare and laughter until you are the male bond, it has gone very, very wrong. What begins like a bizarre bromance fed by adventures late at night, garage punk and a strangely specific passion for the paleolithic relics turns into something much more unbalanced.

A minute you are smiling in a sweet moment of connection; The next, you are watching Craig spiral so far from the control, you are sincerely worried about all the subjects involved.

The film stars as a suburban noir filtered through a middle -aged terror blender and existential comedy. It is acute, it is strange and is not afraid of being aggressively uncomfortable.

But there is also something deeply recognizable buried under absurdity. That gnawing feeling of solitude, the desperate impulse of connecting with someone – anyone – and the way people can completely reveal when that connection slips between their fingers. It’s all there, wrapped in layers of madness.

Friendship It won’t work for everyone. If you do not have a taste for the humor that lives and dies from social disaster and embarrassment of second hand, you could spend the entire film by twisting without the payoff.

But for those of us who love our strange, raw and painfully human comedy, it is a real fun. It is a total of train in the best way and I could not look away. Except when I absolutely had to.
