If you shied away from “Cyrus” because you were worried that Reilly was stuck in a rut, especially since it was released a few years after “Step Brothers” (2008), don’t be. It is so much better, far more relatable, and realistic.

Cyrus has an uncomfortable effect that ultimately peels back to reveal a sensitive and insightful film

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 18, 2023

Cyrus is so spontaneous that it sometimes gives the uncomfortable feeling of digging through foreign lives with the cameras complicity. [Full review in Spanish]

| Oct 19, 2022

The drama replaces the humor a little too often, creating a more serious, gloomily realistic atmosphere that goes against the initial comedic roots.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 29, 2020

Cyrus is a cinematic beast all its own.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 5, 2020

Cyrus is a funny and observant movie.

Wherever it goes, it is excessively drab for a movie set in LA-a peach nightgown Tomei wears is the same color as her skin and the walls at her place-but it lacks the mortifying intensity of an Elaine May movie, which it at times seems to be going for.

It offers you a look at a totally dysfunctional relationship that allows you to look at the relationships in your own life and breathe a sigh of relief.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 5, 2014

a sweet, modest, unremarkable film, propped up by seasoned actors playing quirky and "real."

| Nov 13, 2013

The potentially one-joke premise is given depth, complexity, darkness and pathos by the offbeat execution and the honest performances.

A man battles with his girlfriend's son in this realistic, understated comedy filled with the awkwardness of real life.

| Aug 15, 2011

... A very fine comic-psychodrama that eschews prat falls and flippancy for a more intimately realist and considered rendering of manchild madness and its antecedents.

| Jun 30, 2011

An amazing human drama played out by actors at the peak of their profession: and who could want more than that?

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 1, 2011

The visual style transcends lyricism to achieve a kind of free-verse poetry, aided in large part by awe-inspiring mash-ups of montage and voice-overs

| Jan 28, 2011

...a well-acted yet wholly uninvolving (and downright unconvincing) piece of work.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 25, 2011

Cyrus will appeal to the same audiences that have admired the Mumblecore directors and their work, even though it's more polished.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 27, 2010

...this muted farce benefits from the pitch-perfect performances of its cast.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 23, 2010

... has the dubious distinction of being the first mumblecore comedy to come out of a major studio, complete with an A-list cast.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 17, 2010

A totally cringe-inducing movie. Stay away from it unless you enjoy gawking at severely damaged personalities.
