The most gripping scene in this near-perfect little sports comedy is a fraternal arm-wrestling contest that reaches apoplectic intensity. Read full review

These movie guys specialize in snapping vignettes of human inconsistency - no fancy lighting required. Read full review

The Do-Deca-Pentathlon is an odd little movie about an odd family who reacts to situations in odd ways. Read full review

A delightfully scrappy backburner passion project from Jay and Mark Duplass. Read full review

I love these kinds of films. This film's fly-on-the-wall style of filming makes you feel like you're there with the family. This sneak peek into brotherhood and family life is both humorous and poignant.
