Are We Good?

 Are We Good? is a film that tackles a very interesting idea, how does a comedian continue to bring the funny while dealing with unimaginable loss. The film follows comedian/actor/podcaster Marc Maron as he takes the stage once more after the tragic death of his partner indie filmmaker Lynn Shelton and his struggles to find humor in his grief and also explores Maron’s early life and career prior with insights from funny friends like Michaela Watkins, Caroline Rhea and John Mulaney among others. Are We Good? is a film we all need right now, not just a funny and moving documentary about funny people but a powerful look at the true dangers and struggles to laugh at one’s own pain. Maron is an incredibly open and unfiltered screen presence who quite literally tells the director in real time to keep the camera on him even at his worst. This is raw stuff but like a good comedy bit it also is so funny it can be a light in the darkness. 

I Give It 5 Stars!!!
