MOVIE REVIEW: Mark Duplass and Stirling K. Brown keep this SF chamber piece charming.

is filled with ideas, and they're given easy life by Brown and Duplass. There's a charm to their interactions as Billy and Ray's decades of friendship feels convincing. There's a particularly delightful recurrent discussion about who's the Mario and who's the Luigi in this situation, and an old argument about a bowling ball that keeps cropping up.

But it's also too prone to diversions that end up as dead ends. The inevitable male-to-female transformation of one of the pair, Billy's responsibility for the end of the world, questions about gender, the pandemic lockdown echoes of their situation – they're all tackled but superficially, and without resolution. It's not that they're overshadowed by the bromance, but they're just not as engaging as the core buddy dynamic.
