Louis CK is BACK, and this time he's with the monstrously talented Joe List. I cannot recall a more honest and spot-on portrayal of anxiety throughout cinema than this film. CK and List brilliantly capture the hilarious and horrifying situations that come along with having anxiety and a dysfunctional family. I have been a fan of List's for years, and wasn't sure he would be able to pull off a lead role in a feature film due to inexperience, but boy is he a natural raw talent! I shed tears of laughter throughout the first half, and tears of heartbreak throughout the second half. The ensemble cast is filled with comedians and Boston theater actors that were masterfully directed by CK who clearly demanded one thing: authenticity. There is not a moment in this film that feels like a "movie", and I am completely blown away by every aspect of this film. Do yourself a favor, and go see this film the first chance you get!
