Tim Robinson is one of the best modern examples I can point to that serve as an argument against the pursuit of only naturalism in acting. Robinson's best work exists in two areas: awkwardly embarrassing, and untethered rage. Friendship makes great use of both of those speeds. I have no idea what a naturalistic performance from Robinson would look like, but I bet I wouldn't enjoy it nearly as much.
I heard the latest Marvel is nuts. I liked this movie a lot but if someone had pulled the fire alarm in the theater halfway through I may have never come back to it.
I love I Think You Should Leave, but I'm not watching this. Each episode of the TV show is less than 15 minutes and the sketches are usually only 3 or 4. And they're not all pure embarassment torture. Some are just surreal or angry. Watching the trailer for this, I know there's no way I can spend more than normal sketch length with this awkwardness, let alone 90 minutes.
