Offbeat dramedy has mature themes, some swearing.

Previous writing-directing work by Duplass with his brother, Jay ("Jeff Who Lives at Home"), could be quietly devastating. "Paddleton" is mostly just quiet.

Thanks to two pitch-perfect performances, Paddleton is bittersweet and poignant beyond words.

Whatever may feel annoying or disingenuous about Paddleton is trumped by the emotional honesty of its ending, and the remarkable tenderness of Romano's work.

To get a sense of how excruciating the first hour is, you need to imagine Dumb and Dumber played for tears instead of laughs.

While "Paddleton" takes its time to get there, it ultimately reaches a deeply poignant conclusion. If you're patient enough, that alone could be worth the trip.

It is a film that deserves to find an audience, for whilst it presents familiar narrative arches, it presents a refreshing, beautiful take on male relationships.

Arguably the bromance movie of the year, Paddleton will leave you with an empty box of tissues, calling your best friend.

On the whole, Paddleton isn't quite as strong as was Lehmann's relatively little-seen debut, Blue Jay, but it builds to a duet as harrowing and tender and moving as anyone could desire, or fear, or both.

A tremendously authentic film. [Full review in Spanish]

[T]o fight against "Paddleton" and its no-frills, in-the-moment mission of mercy is, ultimately, useless.
