This is a rare example of a small, intimate movie made by an insider that actually works. The performances, the writing, the hands-off direction, the music choices, the songwriting are all exactly on point. And Eisenberg sticks the landing - he knows when to cut away, he knows when to stop talking and let the screen go black. Julianne Moor and Finn Wolfhard are both terrific playing utterly self-obsessed characters - without the gentle and honest direction from Eisenberg and the endearing performances form the stars, this might've been a tough watch, but everyone has just enough self-awareness to make the narcissism play.
