Film Information
In Bradley Cooper’s (Maestro) keenly observed comic drama, he confirms his dexterity for representing the complexities of human relationships, constructing a film that is both lacerating and sweet-souled, funny and tender.
As their marriage quietly unravels, Alex (Will Arnett) faces middle age and an impending divorce, seeking new purpose in the New York comedy scene while Tess (Laura Dern) confronts the sacrifices she made for their family—forcing them to navigate co-parenting, identity, and whether love can take a new form.
Reviews
"Everything Cooper has done here has an improv-like feel - warm and funny and recognizable, which allows Is This Thing On? to amble around and sneak up on you like a great punch line." – NPR
