![]() ![]() Bobby Cannavale plays a man with one arm who knows how to use his affliction for sympathy and then close in for the kill. Or the one who breaks up with five different women with the same line. There’s all sorts of crazy stuff, like the guy who for some unknown reason is compelled to shout “victory for the forces of democratic freedom” just before he has an orgasm. Sometimes the interviewees appear in an antiseptic room talking into a microphone, and sometimes the events they’re describing are dramatized. The interviews start on a lighthearted note and progress to some nasty revelations about what men are really capable of. It’s somewhat simplistic to say that all men are this terrible, but it makes for better storytelling. Most of them don’t have a clue, but their deceit and manipulation are so clever and deep-seated it’s like watching a car wreck on the side of the road: You can’t take your eyes off of it. Krasinski has added a female character, an academic played by Julianne Nicholson, who interviews a cross-section of men about their relationships with women. ![]() Sundance: From Barista to Award-Winning Documentary Director ![]()
