‘Friendship’ Review: Tim Robinson Is Riotously Hilarious In A24’s Absurdist, Nightmare-Fueled Cringe Comedy
Not unlike a long-form version of Tim Robinson’s hilarious “I Think You Should Leave,” Netflix sketch show, but with a coherent narrative structure holding it all together, A24’s dark comedy, “Friendship,” is hysterically funny and sometimes disturbing look at friendship, loneliness and obsession.
Written and directed by Andrew DeYoung (“Our Flag Means Death,” “Pen15”), in his feature-length debut, it’s nearly shocking that Robinson didn’t have a hand in creating or shaping the movie in some manner; it’s absurdist, wtf, batshit sensibilities are all his.
