Joshy

★★★★ review by Gabriel Jewett on Letterboxd
Joshy is one of the most tender and affectionate films about male bonding that I have ever seen,
The film feels like a modern day mostly male cast of The Big Chill but that is still the superior film.
Joshy deals with themes of grief and feeling alone even when you're around others better than most.
The way these mostly self centered characters develop into warm and caring friends is wonderful and very endearing,
The cast is stellar especially a very memorable cameo by Joe Swanberg.
Joshy is excellent and I would definitely recommend it,
I hope everyone checks this film out.8 Turtlesaurus outta 10

★★★★ review by Keith Garrett on Letterboxd
There's something about Thomas Middleditch, man. That monologue at the end. Such a shining moment of real, raw emotion. I loved this.

★★★½ review by Davis. on Letterboxd
one of those mumblecore type deals where a gaggle of COMEDY BANG BANG regulars (Tommy Middle D, Nick Kroll, Adam Pally etc) spend the runtime in two locations being variously sad and/or toxic before everyone learns a minor life lesson and goes home. that might sound ultra-specific but i swear i've seen about 4 movies along those lines in the past year alone and frankly...I'm a sucker for 'em. i could comfort watch these bad boys all weekend long LAW & ORDER SVU style.
