Is This Thing On?

As their marriage quietly unravels, Alex (Will Arnett) faces middle age and an impending divorce, seeking new purpose in the New York comedy scene while Tess (Laura Dern) confronts the sacrifices she made for their family–forcing them to navigate co-parenting, identity, and whether love can take a new form.

“Essentially “Men will literally do stand-up rather than go to therapy”, in cinematic form. An appealing tragicomedy-drama, told with veracity and heart by Cooper, Arnett and Dern.” (Empire Magazine)

“If the film works at all, it’s because Arnett is indeed genuinely relatable, with his husky morning-after voice and a feral bitterness behind his eyes redolent of the accumulated fatigue of male midlife – he’s an adult, in a movie made for them.” (Sight & Sound)

“It’s merely a portrait of a guy trying to find his way back, one confessional freeform monologue at a time… Arnett understands this, possibly better than we might know. Regardless, the role brings out a side of him that feels revelatory. “ (Rolling Stone Magazine)
