Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd prove to be a surprisingly compelling on-screen duo in their A24 feature Friendship.

Andrew DeYoung’s feature debut is a masterclass in cringeworthy, character-driven comedy, serving as a dark mirror to the anxieties of modern male companionship. The film is built on the fascinating, and often horrifying, dynamic between its leads, with Tim Robinson playing Craig, a suburban dad desperate for a friend, and Paul Rudd as Austin, his effortlessly cool new neighbor. The movie subverts the traditional buddy-comedy genre, quickly transforming what seems like a harmless bromance into a descent into obsessive and deeply uncomfortable behavior.

Robinson’s performance is a potent distillation of his signature style from the revered I Think You Should Leave, but stretched to a feature-length narrative. His character’s socially inept gaffes and escalating desperation are both hilarious and deeply unsettling, making the audience laugh and wince in equal measure. Rudd, in a nuanced turn, is the perfect foil — his initial charm gives way to a growing unease as he realizes the true extent of his new friend’s emotional instability. Friendship is not a feel-good story; it’s a psychological case study on social awkwardness and the lengths we as humans will go to just to feel accepted. It’s a challenging, darkly funny and unforgettable film that perfectly fits within A24’s catalog of unsettling and thought-provoking cinema.

Friendship is available now on Cathay Pacific‘s award-winning inflight entertainment system.
