Paddleton

Both these actors have been phenomenal in comedy, especially Mark, who I have now watched in multiple roles, so to see them in such a brave act of spectrum revealing performance is ironically refreshing, considering the tone of the movie. Watch this movie for powerful performances by both these brilliant actors and a story that makes you think about some serious issues related to your own loved ones.

The climactic scene in Paddleton would have to rank as one of the most incredible pieces of cinema I can remember. Ray Romano and Mark Duplass produce a moment that is virtually unmatched in its authenticity and honesty. I can barely believe what I just watched, it's a scene that will stay with me for a long time.

Prior to this, Paddleton moves along slowly and tentatively which is clearly by design. The improv style is a difficult beast to tame but Romano and Duplass do it with panache and no lack of humour. It's a definite change of pace to your average modern movie but it is well worth sticking it out.

A real sleeper of a film that brings the topics of life, death and friendship into startling focus.

I did not know what to think about about this moving when I first saw it on Netflix. It had Ray Romano so I thought it might be good and clicked on it. Wow, not a funny, chipper afternoon watch but I was hooked by the way it was filmed and how it flowed.

It did not over power the dialog with emotional music or scenery, it let you get there on your own and when the ending happened, you felt it. Both the sadness and the hope.

A short, simple, bittersweet, emotional watch. Though this film has not much in the way of visuals or anything of note on a technical level, the film is bolstered up by two great lead performances (especially from Ray Romano) as two very vivid characters with oddly specific, yet relatable traits.

This film tells the story of two neighbours going on a road trip to get medication for assisted suicide.

Right from the first second the film begins, it is already right to the point. There is no messing about at all. The story is an emotional one, and it is well told. It is believable, engaging, and also leaves room for people to extrapolate as well. It takes viewers through an emotional journey.
