The Comedy Movie Review: | |
| The longest and dreariest 94 minutes I've spent on a movie this year. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times None of this is necessarily funny. That's the extent of the irony here. Wesley Morris-Boston Globe The joke, I guess, is that there's nothing funny about "The Comedy." Barbara VanDenburgh-Arizona Republic A mean-spirited piece of mumblecore that tries to provoke you, but only succeeds in boring you. David Lewis-San Francisco Chronicle A character study that tries to make the revolting compelling. Kyle Smith-New York Post If you can discern any critical distance or interesting perspective here, or even a good reason to spend 90 minutes in such company, I'm afraid the joke is on you. A.O. Scott-New York Times While this could have been the perfect portrait of a certain kind of idiot, the baroque cruelties and tonal monotony go too far. Nicolas Rapold-Film Comment Magazine An essential portrait of a generation of people laughing so hard that they've forgotten the joke is on them. David Ehrlich-Boxoffice Magazine This is a lacerating portrait of the sort of narcissistic self-loathing that has kept educated, economically comfortable young people from achieving their true potential, from Benjamin Braddock to Hannah Horvath. Marc Mohan-Oregonian Champions what it appears to mock and indicts what it appears to glorify. Michael Nordine-Willamette Week [A] relentlessly aimless, abrasive stab at black humor. Gerald Peary-Boston Phoenix All this is credible enough until Swanson exits the airtight bubble of his peers to bully New York City at large. Leah Churner-Austin Chronicle Pushing the boundaries of taste isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the film is so busy daring its audience to hurl insults that it forgets to simply be funny. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com A billion times better than Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie. Matt Pais-RedEye It's a long, painful sit that claws at interpretational ambition, but only nails the rare moment of enlightenment, wasting 90 minutes of screentime to acquire about 15 minutes worth of substance. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com The Comedy may not aspire to be the portrait of a generation, but it certainly offers a scary dissection of a faux-careless Brooklynite sensibility that threatens to be the undoing of everyone involved. Ted Scheinman-Paste Magazine An unconventional, unapologetic comedy that's unbelievably entertaining. Chase Whale-We Got This Covered | |
