This is a lacerating portrait of the sort of narcissistic self-loathing that has kept educated, economically comfortable young people from achieving their true potential, from Benjamin Braddock to Hannah Horvath.

As a portrait of a generation that's almost collectively sociopathic, this is frightening. For the right audience it's also damn funny. If I wasn't so emotionally stunted and able to enjoy things unironically I'd say I loved it.

The joke, I guess, is that there's nothing funny about "The Comedy."

A mean-spirited piece of mumblecore that tries to provoke you, but only succeeds in boring you.

For something titled The Comedy, this movie isn't funny. Or charming, likable, enjoyable, or any other adjectives you would find splashed on a poster.

An essential portrait of a generation of people laughing so hard that they've forgotten the joke is on them.

None of this is necessarily funny. That's the extent of the irony here.

If you can discern any critical distance or interesting perspective here, or even a good reason to spend 90 minutes in such company, I'm afraid the joke is on you.
