This is a look at Marc Maron as the world opens up after covid and he tries to chart his life after the loss of his partner Lynn Shelton. We watch as he returns to the stand up stage and figures out what's next.
This is a good look at Maron that doesn't really seem to want to make a point other than to simply say "this is Maron, you feel what you want." Its a refreshing proposition considering the number of films these days that want us to know exactly what the filmmaker thinks. Here the filmmaker is much more interested in making sure we know what Maron thinks.
This film is truly like hanging out with a friend, for the good and bad, as opposed to watching a loving puff piece. I suspect that spending time with Maron in real life is going to be exactly like watching this film.
How you react to the film is going to be entirely based upon how you feel about Maron. That's not a knock, or to say anything bad about him, rather if you like the man you'll love the film. If you not a fan then odds are you'll like the film (I'm not a fan but I came out liking the man and the film).
Definitely worth a look.
