A24's 'Friendship' to Premiere at SXSW

Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd star in 'Friendship,' a dark comedy film by A24, which explores the chaotic spiral of a suburban bromance. Robinson plays Craig, a suburban dad who becomes infatuated with befriending his charismatic neighbor, Austin, played by Rudd. The relationship begins with promise but quickly derails as Austin decides to sever ties, leading to comedic chaos reminiscent of Robinson's 'I Think You Should Leave'. Directed by Andrew DeYoung, 'Friendship' premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and will debut at SXSW in March before its theatrical release in May. The film, marked by Robinson's signature awkward humor, has received positive early reviews, with some comparing its tone to 'I Love You, Man'. Supporting cast includes Kate Mara, Jack Dylan Grazer, and Josh Segarra, further enriching the film's comedic landscape.
