Critic Reviews for Cyrus
-
a sweet, modest, unremarkable film, propped up by seasoned actors playing quirky and "real."
November 13, 2013 | Full Review… -
The potentially one-joke premise is given depth, complexity, darkness and pathos by the offbeat execution and the honest performances.
February 22, 2012 | Full Review… -
Cast and crew seem committed to making a simple point: "unhealthily close" relationships can be enriching. And the result is a movie that feels both small and deep.

It's funny, but edgy, too: you feel as if something very bad could happen at any moment.

The Duplass brothers enter the mainstream with a touching, original and supremely funny film.

There are very few films, of whatever type, that actually surprise us, so when one does come along it's tempting to whoop.

Audience Reviews for Cyrus

Oct 14, 2012Imagine a less fart joke version of Step Brothers, that is what you have here. Cyrus is a calm comedy, not many laughs, but something you can enjoy. With similar dialogue to "Puffy chair" and earlier Duplass film. This dialogue either realistic or corny, depending on your looks of things. Funny, sweet, and simple.Daniel D Super Reviewer

Dec 31, 2011First Review of 2012 "Cyrus": The fantastic ensemble really give off the feeling that they genuinely are a disfunctional family because of amazing chemistry with eachother and still manage to bring some laughs with it. The Duplas' have created a smart and believable movie with a simple yet entertaining central idea.Directors C Super Reviewer

Oct 25, 2011This movie's plot strikes me as something you'd be able to relate to in every day life. And Reilly, Tomei and Hill do a great job as the triangle lead. There's just enough humor in this to keep you interested if you expected a comedy (it could have been a really dark comedy if they wrote it like that) but there's also enough humanism to level the playing field. At times, I found it awkward and troubling to watch the relationship between Tomei and Hill's characters as overly protective mother and emotionally needy son. But that's exactly how these situations are supposed to play out! The actors are top notch in this. These indy films don't always succeed in convincing people that they are capable of a wider range in Hollywood, but this counters that with the performances these actors in the film have given. At a contrite hour and thirty minutes, it leaves you pulling for everyone to come together in the end as this movie roller coasters its way through their lives.Lane Z Super Reviewer
