The movie’s been out for a while now, but let’s go ahead and start with a SPOILER WARNING for anyone who still hasn’t watched Friendship, now available to stream via HBO Max subscription.
No small feat for any 2025 movie release, Andrew DeYoung’s Friendship pulls off the rare move of utilizing a main star’s genre-specific talents in a completely different capacity. I speak of course of cringe-comedy mastermind Tim Robinson going from I Think You Should Leave’s shortform chaos to a full-length Fatal Attraction-esque feature without ever pivoting away from what he does best. His bizarro performance is so convincing, however, that I can’t tell if I truly understood the hard-to-watch movie or not.
