Brigsby Bear

The movie needed a little more time to develop some of its themes but it did a good job keeping interesting and getting both the serious aspects as well as the comedy. Solid and entertaining movie.

If every film was like this I would probably hate cinema, but in a world filled with nihilism this is a huge breathe of fresh air. A great love letter to not just cinema, but creating art in general. It's not as weird as Kyle Mooney and crew are capable of, but there is a weirdness that bleeds into the whole film.

Makes me want to go back and bingewatch all the old Brigsby episodes. I hate that so many people are jumping on the Brigsby bandwagon just now. I've been a fan since my parents introduced me to the show back when I was... hang on... MOM!??!

More of light drama than the comedy you'd generally get when one of these sketch comedian types transitions to the big screen, but that doesn't end up being a bad thing at all - the film ends up being a worthwhile examination of creativity and the need to finish what you started. A bit awkward in spots (and really Kyle Mooney is about ten years too old to be playing this character), but I'm definitely up for anything else in the future from Kyle.

Hilarious, touching, original, thrilling. One of the most earnest films I've seen in some time.
