why do the lonely island boys have a better understanding of how to make a moving and unique film than every other production team in hollywood

dope as shit

straight up WHY am i crying about a movie with a cover like this

Brigsby Bear is such a confusing thing that exists. Not the storyline, that could not be simpler, just the actual purpose of this film, the tone of this film, the voice of this film, I mean what is the point?
It’s something that, on it’s surface, comes off as a passion project, as something that was so carefully thought out and had a lot of heart put into it. But once you actually watch you realize there isn’t an ounce of personality in it’s filmmaking. While enjoyable and sorta funny in the moment, Brigsby Bear is the most boring high you’ll ever have.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

the concept could easily fall apart with any other director and any other cast, but it has such a huge, powerful heart at its center and the performances are so unbelievably good that it just works. it would be so simple to make james the butt of every joke because of his social awkwardness and inexperience, but instead the character is treated with the sympathy and compassion he deserves. i'm so happy i watched this, i kept awww'ing out loud and i almost cried at one point. if you have your doubts about seeing this because it doesn't sound like something you'd enjoy, ignore them. if you love movies & the power they have to affect our lives, you'll love this.

brigsby bear had no business being this sweet and charming!!!

I don't think this has ever happened to me, but ten minutes after watching Brisgby Bear and thinking back on how lovely it was, I burst into uncontrollable tears on my walk home. Handily one of the most complex and life affirming films of the year and proof that sometimes that the world is not a cold, dead place. It's also dope as shit.

why am i straight up CRYING about kyle mooney’s furry fetish

this film is the cinematic equivalent of a hug

I kinda flipped for this. What’s there not to like about a movie that’s essentially about how the whole point ofnmovoes is making movies with friends. And the craft across all departments was so high! Kudos to everyone involved.

This was exactly the kind of heart-warming, soul-crushing, whimsical movie I needed to experience right now, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get teary-eyed at least a couple times.

Sometimes it’s hard feeling like an alien in a world of astronauts.

dope as shit

I quite liked this movie, funny, wholesome, entertaining, and hits you just right. It’s too bad @spiderdan fell asleep tho

Yeah it’s cute and engaging but its always kind of plodding and boring. Feels like a first draft

Been a fan of Kyles for a little while and this movie, compounded with the continued slide into mediocrity with his SNL gig, has made me disinterested in anything he has moving forward. Sorry dude.

Ohhh myyy goddd i love cute movies about making movies. Dope as shit

That’s some dope shit

Twisted with a good heart, like a lot of Kyle Mooney's best SNL characters. Watching this and the trailers on DVD took me back to seeing indie flicks in small theaters and learning about movies you'd never hear about otherwise.

tbh that was really boring but i love kyle mooney and it made me emotional so it gets an extra half star

THAT LAST SHOT

good premise but rarely does anything interesting with it. Kyle Mooney does a fine job of playing the lead, but what a waste of Mark Hamill and Jane Adams (who is excellent in Twin Peaks: The Return) Brigsby Bear just kinda floats along to a pleasant conclusion, but I was pretty disappointed throughout.
