I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson review<\/b><\/a><\/p>\nThe movie, however, quickly lurches into harsher, bleaker Baby Reindeer territory. Craig\u2019s wife Tami (Kate Mara) is newly recovered from cancer and terrified of its possible return. That darkness, and the ever-present spectre of death, infects everything that subsequently happens to Craig in grey, rainy, perpetually autumnal Yonkers, New York.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a mania to Craig\u2019s obsession with Austin too, and a hint of barely concealed male rage, that suggests someone pushed to the edge of breakdown. Craig screams a lot, like a hysterical man-baby, over ostensibly trivial incidents such as losing a shoe or dropping a phone. He does a painful \u201ccomedy\u201d voice, like Moe from the Three Stooges, when attempting to extricate himself from difficult social situations. An office meeting goes badly awry, for instance, and a supportive house party for the vulnerable Tami is ruined by Craig\u2019s cloth-eared speech (think David Brent times a billion). Later on, as their marriage hits implosion point, Craig will stare at Tami wordlessly, gormlessly, through the reflection on the oven door, like a serial killer.<\/p>\n
All of this, to be clear, is hilarious. Emotionally desolate, but hilarious. If Ingmar Bergman had made American indie comedies he might have started with Friendship. The film is written and directed by Andrew DeYoung, who previously worked with Taika Waititi on Our Flag Means Death. And yet the real \u201cauthor\u201d of the film is Robinson. He has produced here the kind of huge, domineering performance upon which entire movie careers are launched. This is surely just the beginning.
