Joshy Reviews
Joshy is a little underwhelming when you first watch it, but the more you think about it and let it marinate, it tends to grow on you.
It takes Joshy a little while to find its footing after a truly shocking opening scene, but once it does there's a nice story about friendship in the toughest times.
... Joshy would have succeeded had it felt comfortable enough it its own skin to play out without a third act twist that ultimately derails everything that has been set up.
Few movies about groups of male friends do such a strong job with the dynamics between individual people and the collection as a whole.
Ultimately, Joshy claims to be a story in defense of its main character's right to a story all his own, even though the film never steps away from him long enough to make us consider that this was even a palpable threat.
Joshy is perhaps best viewed as a revision of The Hangover, and several other weekend bromances... all too eager to imitate, if not advertise, the illusory notion that senselessly participating in fraternal rites of passage will lead to happiness.
It's not a tight effort, but we've seen this permissive style of movie before, and it rarely turns out this well.
It's a fascinating depiction of the way men do -- or don't -- confront life's tragedies and traumas.
An accomplished cast boosts this uneven low-budget comedy.
You probably wouldn't want to spend that much time with these people yourself, but at least they're never boring.
"Joshy" is like a weekend with random friends: fun and familiar, but rarely any deeper than the personalities involved. Don't look for more and you'll be fine.
Alcohol-induced shambling, cocaine-induced motor-mouthing and mushroom-induced melancholia are depicted with sobering accuracy.
Baena delivers a quiet and largely plotless dramedy that walks the line between goofy bro comedy and mumblecore drama.
An engagingly perceptive and often darkly funny glimpse at wrestling with issues of adulthood after a life of seemingly endless adolescence.
Joshy uses so much architecture from indie-movie blueprints and uses so many comic actors as building blocks that it briefly seems like an elaborate spoof project.
With five main characters, a host of cameos and a precipitous balance between comedy and darkness, Joshy gets a lot done, and does it very well.
Joshy isn't fun. It doesn't want to be. It's far more focused on the moment when fun becomes discomfort.
The film feels most real, even at its most absurd, when focused on the idea of closure as a kind of fantasy.
Ace performances all around, each perching on the razor's edge between comedy and tragedy, and falling freely from one side to the other.
Though at times the film feels like an improvised mess, it creeps up on a surprisingly heartwrenching-and heartwarming-conclusion.
