Reviews
|
Slant Magazine -
The film feels most real, even at its most absurd, when focused on the idea of closure as a kind of fantasy.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
A safer but still funny follow-up to Jeff Baena's provocative debut.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
Ultimately, it’s a fascinating depiction of the way men do — or don’t — confront life’s tragedies and traumas.
|
|
The New York Times -
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.
|
|
The Film Stage -
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.
