Weirdest freakin' movie I have seen in a while, but it was worth the watch.
Inconsequential but well acted yarn with a believable central relationship 'on the rocks' but an unconvincing stoner brother character. Oh and enough with the 'dude' and 'man' tags on every utterance.
Hollywood concentrates too much on comparison. Tom Hanks is the new Jimmy Stewart, et cetera and ad nauseum. This said, this reviewer has officially enlisted in the hypocrisy, trumpeting the arrival of the Duplass Brothers as the new Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused). Far fr... read more
What a shitty movie!!
Independent films tend to please me with their brilliant and original filmwork, but this one started licking gopher cock from the very beginning.
The dialogue seemed poorly-improvised, without any more than 3 semi-interesting scenes.
The only pleasant part a... read more
A dumbly irritating slice-of-life indie film. If you want things true to life, and you think life is some detestable sack of clumsy, inconsequential, free-floating mistakes, then by all means you'll love The Puffy Chair. I hope you don't.
From its awful hyper-PDA schmooping-&-aw... read more
Isn't this a Monty Python skit?... no, thats "COMFY chair" LOLZ. Generic actors make generic movies.
Every single character is grating and unlikable. So way to go with realism, Duplass Brothers! This is decent mumblecore (my favorite scene was the drunken midnight wedding), but for the real stuff skip to Andrew Bujalski.
The nutsack reference was pretty funny but after that it was just an OK movie. I didn't like the ending either.
A movie oozing verisimilitude about two twenty-somethings who are at a precipice in their relationship, on whether it should move forward or end.
Too soon, the stuff that seemed charmingly idiosyncratic turns annoyingly odd and then just plain annoying. Full Review
Built on beats of deadpan timing and splendidly understated reaction shots. Full Review
An enjoyable road movie that feels both comfortable and completely fresh. Full Review
It captures the nuances and rhythms of messy real-life relationships dead-on.
The Duplass brothers have stuffed their first feature with fine details. Not all of them are comfy. But they're well-crafted and hint at funny, ouchy films to come. Full Review
The Puffy Chair is a low-key road movie that, fittingly enough, has knocked around the festival circuit for a while and opened in a few theaters before arriving in New York today. The journey it depic...
Combines a wise script with funky performances, especially by Aselton, who could give Jennifer Aniston a run for her money.
It may not seem like much, but The Puffy Chair works. Full Review
The movie may not amount to much, but the genial tone and exceptionally good performances from the three leads make for a winning debut by the Duplass brothers. Full Review
