CYRUS [2010]

Cyrus is an oddball romantic drama with a slight comedic twist to it from Jay & Mark Duplass who co-wrote & directed the twisted indie-horror Baghead.
John C. Reilly is down in the dumps until he meets the perfect woman played by the always wonderful Marisa Tomei. The only problem is her disturbed adult son, Cyrus is willing to do anything to come between them, who is brilliantly played by Jonah Hill.
The Duplass Brothers make use of some wonderful and raw camera work & editing which packs an extra emotional and intimate punch to the film. With great performances all around, Cyrus makes for a quaint little film that leaves you smiling.

Marisa Tomei is great. Loved her since My Cousin Vinny. Haven't watched this one.
