Cyrus: Blu Ray Review
Cyrus
Rating: M
Released by Roadshow
Cyrus stars John C Reilly, Jonah Hill and Marisa Tomei as a
mismatched trio.
Reilly is John a divorcee who meets Marisa's Molly at a party
and they hit it off; so much so that after 7 years' estrangement
from his ex Catherine Keener,he thinks she could be the one.
There's only one problem - her 21 year old son Cyrus (Hill) who
initially welcomes John to their home but soon starts to act up in
order to get him out.
Cyrus is a polished little gem of a dramedy of a film, delightfully
quirky and confounds every expectation - while still delivering
plenty of laughs and a good dose of heart.
The style is interesting as well - as it appears to have been shot on handheld cameras so they swoop in and out capturing every awkwardly odd moment.
The reason it works though is because of the leads - and if you
give into the film's slightly weird ways and restrained humour,
you'll love it
Extras: Deleted scenes, puppet movie (!) and
intros
Rating: 7/10
