Leave your thoughts about The Comedy.
| Film Comment MagazineNicolas RapoldWhile this could have been the perfect portrait of a certain kind of idiot, the baroque cruelties and tonal monotony go too far. |
| We Got This CoveredChase WhaleAn unconventional, unapologetic comedy that's unbelievably entertaining. |
| Slant MagazineJoseph Jon LanthierTim Heidecker's Swanson does not amuse us in spite of the pity he inspires but because of it. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonPushing 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. |
| AV ClubScott TobiasThere's genuine pain at the core of Heidecker's character - or at least a numbness where the pain used to reside - but the film is keen on obscuring it. |
| Counterpunch.orgLouis ProyectA searing study of an aging hipster who encapsulates the misanthropy popular culture's notion of what it means to be funny. |
| Village VoiceKarina LongworthThere's not a false note in the film, but maybe there's a difference between accuracy and truth. |
| The PlaylistChristopher BellIt's a meaty film, filled with ideas unobscured by any generic narrative string, a move that shows not only the confidence of the director but his respect of the audience. This is one that'll have people talking. |
| Nashville SceneSteve EricksonIf you live in certain trendy neighborhoods in certain cities, you may recognize something genuine in Alverson's characters as depicted in The Comedy. But what then? |
| Dig BostonMonica CastilloFor something titled The Comedy, this movie isn't funny. Or charming, likable, enjoyable, or any other adjectives you would find splashed on a poster. |
