Reviews


75
Slant Magazine - Wes Greene
The film feels most real, even at its most absurd, when focused on the idea of closure as a kind of fantasy.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
A safer but still funny follow-up to Jeff Baena's provocative debut.
70
Los Angeles Times - Katie Walsh
Ultimately, it’s a fascinating depiction of the way men do — or don’t — confront life’s tragedies and traumas.
70
The New York Times - Glenn Kenny
Mr. Baena (who, with David O. Russell, wrote the tricky 2004 “I ♥ Huckabees”) is more accomplished than many microbudget filmmakers, and the looseness with which he imbues the middle section of Joshy is deceptive, creating a sense that the necessary emotional crash might not actually occur.
67
The Film Stage - Jordan Raup
Joshy doesn’t provide any new revelations about the transition into adulthood, but, with an amusing ensemble, you could be stuck with a much worse group of guys.
