The film scrabbles to come up with a suitably calamitous climax, though, and the focus settles too much on the incel. This is good news for Butterfield, who shows his range in shifting from schlubby haplessness to good ol’ boy posturing, but less so for Martell, equally impressive in his weaseliness. The two of them make an endearing pair: a bipartisan declaration of American incompetence. Read full review

So many details in this comedy-drama (a characterization worth quibbling with) are meant to provoke. And Our Hero, Balthazar teases with the promise of a darkly intelligent film. Not unlike its protagonist’s tears, the effect is dismayingly performative. Read full review
