Bradley Cooper, Will Arnett, Laura Dern, Andra Day, and Christine Ebersole join NYFF selection committee member Florence Almozini to discuss this year’s Closing Night selection, Is This Thing On?
Will Arnett and Laura Dern play a couple whose separation leads to unpredictable midlife self-reckonings, most dramatically in Alex’s wild career pivot to become a confessional stand-up comic. Director Bradley Cooper’s beautifully lived-in third feature is both lacerating and sweet-souled, funny and tender.
The 63rd New York Film Festival is presented in partnership with Rolex.
