Jeez. after watching this movie, I don't know what to think about it exactly. Reviews call this dark or black comedy but I see it more as an ultra-cringey drama based on a no-friends weirdo man trope. I mean an unhappy, sexless marriage + potty mouthed rent-free emotionally detached manchild in tow + midlife crisis + psychotic clingy obsessive desperation + rejection at work & with neighbors + drugs = could this hypotehtical person/dynamic actually exist or reflect reality in any way, anywhere? It is hard for me to see this as realistic or identifiable in any capacity rather the warped misandrous creation of ... I dont know what exactly. About the only part that seems realistic in any way is how the only person who does accept him for who the protagonist Craig is is the phone guy/drug dealer and its pretty clear that is because he just wants to get paid. The rest of this is just a ride on the whackadoodle and this is suprising to me as the writer/director is happily married with two children, so by all societal markers, a successful man and husband/father. Acting was fine from all actors but the direction was not something I cared for.
LOL An interpretation of a married mans life or what it becomes if you dont make/have adult man friends? - psycho, drug using, B&A gun thief soap eater? I dunno, this one was all over the place for me. Its hard for me to recommend this one unless you enjoy wallowing in unending, cringe torture.
