Just love that Bradley Cooper went from the studiously excellent MAESTRO, to the loose-limbed & casually enchanting IS THIS THING ON?. A filmmaker who can operate in every mold, he’s the real deal. Lovely chemistry between Will Arnett & Laura Dern, a very New York #NYFF closing.

Bradley Cooper gets real with #IsThisThingOn, his most vulnerable filmmaking yet. Will Arnett takes an audacious swing; Laura Dern channels the fire that made her so compelling in “We Don’t Live Here Anymore.” The film is funny, yes, but far more “Marriage Story” than expected.

‘Is This Thing On?’ Review: Will Arnett and Laura Dern Are a Delight in Bradley Cooper’s Warmhearted Flipside to ‘Marriage Story’

After a quarter century as a working actor, it’s hardly surprising that Bradley Cooper would be drawn for subject matter to the cathartic nature of performing and its effect on relationships. What’s less expected is that all three of his highly accomplished films as director have used that spark in such different ways. A Star Is Born explored the arc of a couple respectively experiencing the glow of the spotlight and the chill as it dims, while Maestro weighed the creative genius of an impassioned artist against the limited oxygen left for a uniquely complex love story.

"The wear and tear that he carries in his tone and eyes alongside those comedic instincts is what makes his performance remarkable. He is deeply connected to Alex’s pain, so much so that even his glimmers of joy still reflect a portion of misery and yearning for his life back."

cn spoilers
obviously (I think) is this thing on? isn't the sort of movie that requires a spoilers warning per se, but still, this review does recap a lot of the plot!

It’s an unassuming comic drama that sneaks up on you, its emotional honesty fueled by gorgeous performances of unimpeachable naturalness from Will Arnett and Laura Dern.

the reviews are mostly good, and the reviews I read so far make a point to praise will arnett's and laura dern's performance and their chemistry.

Arnett's natural wittiness is the key to making Alex's act work, although the actor smartlgrounds the character's comedy in grief, regret, bitterness, and self-loathing.

5. the one trope I am so obsessed with i regularly revisit it before falling asleep. I just love betrayal, regret, pining, redemption arcs.

weirdest HC i have is a fantasy omegaverse set in some sort ancient past, where europe was populated by tribes and kingdoms. warrior prince omega jack sent by his father, and old king to the prince of a neighbouring kingdom, stede, who is an alpha.

all his life omega jack has handled his heats by just heading down to a public restroom or park and offer himself up to random alphas, then after days of being knotted crawl back home. that's exactly how he needs it, he always says. none of this nesting shit.

3. i definitely plan to write this witches of eastwick au ... one day. jack, ed, izzy as the witches, stede as the devil. believe me this will work 🙏

allegs @lovelaced.bsky.social · Nov 19

my evergreen ofmd omegaverse hc is a witches of eastwick crossover but with jack, ed and izzy as dissatisfied, single omegas and alpha stede literally rocking their world by turning up in their town and fucking their brains out with his monster cock.

#IsThisThingOn is Bradley Cooper's funniest movie as a director.

The ultimate crowd-pleasing, feel-good rom-com-dram. Will Arnett and Laura Dern are absolutely wonderful. A very sweet movie that combines humor with pain.
