Trey Edward Shults And one of them happens to be very ill. Was this review helpful? This moving is about male freindship and dealing with death. 42 out of 47 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Both main actors were great, especially Ray. But Paddleton resides in the space between soundtrack cues, in a way that few others manage. By watching this movie about slow death of a guy, I got a wish to live. Hands down one of the best Netflix Original films, and one of the saddest movies I’ve ever seen. Es werden nämlich nicht die großen Gesten und Ereignisse zelebriert, sondern die einfachen Sachen des Lebens, wie Kung-Fu Filme schauen mit seinem besten Freund, wobei sich der Film nicht scheut unangenehm trocken und mit einem Hauch Komik, das Ableben eines Menschen darzustellen. Was this review helpful? When it works it really works a few genuine laugh out loud moments and a few perfectly sombre moments also. Also, this is one of the movies where I really feel improvisation in a good way. Watching them maneuver the stages of grief, while knowing what the final outcome will be is heart wrenching. Maybe not longer, but more and fulfilled. 10 out of 14 found this helpful. Florian Ross
I really enjoyed it. Oct 27, 2017 9,796. The movie spells out its plot right in the beginning which I'll touch on.
It was released on February 22, 2019, by Netflix. Even though this made me ugly cry it also was really funny too and that is mostly thanks to Ray Romano. This is all clearly by design. A couple times it bounced in the can and came out of the can — that’s no goal. You feel their quirks and understand them. Paddleton is a 2019 American comedy-drama film, directed by Alex Lehmann, from a script by Lehmann and Mark Duplass. I don’t know if that’s normal. I did not know what to think about about this moving when I first saw it on Netflix. I'm happy someone occasionally still has the audacity to pour their heart and soul into a film like this. This movie though, somehow locked me in from the start.

Are you ready…monthly Netflix US recommendations based on quality and/or entertainment value (comment suggestions or correct me if I'm wrong! 15 out of 19 found this helpful. It’s actually a game played by our leads in the film, and I think it’s best to let Mark Duplass describe it.The way it works is they have shitty racquetball racquets, and racquetballs. I love the Duplass Brothers.

(This is entirely personal…Two people find comfort in each other (not necessarily romantically) despite their painful lives. Though this film has not much in the way of visuals or anything of note on a technical level, the film is bolstered up by two great lead performances (especially from Ray Romano) as two very vivid characters with oddly specific, yet relatable traits.
