Rather than simply being an extended "I Think You Should Leave" sketch, Andrew DeYoung's feature debut FRIENDSHIP allows you to live within the sadness of its characters and doesn't shy away from interrogating the dynamics of male friendship, all while managing to pull off some of the biggest laughs you'll have at the theater all year.
FRIENDSHIP is now playing at Davis Theater

"George Miller did WHAT in a children's film???" is a sentence that could be said for just about every single moment in this movie. Keeping taking swings, George.

Made soon after the ing of his wife, writer/director David Cronenberg returns to the big screen with a haunting exploration of the intersection of grief and technology. No one does it like him.

Some of the most handsome men doing some of the coolest shit and every single one is a little bit lame. This is the best movie ever made.
Favorite part was when they had a shot of an L platform and the whole theater went ballistic #chicagostrong
