FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/is-this-thing-on-review/
"Is This Thing On? is the unexpected festival gem that demonstrates Bradley Cooper's masterful control over the form and heart of the story.
It's a film that surprises with its authenticity, balancing raw humor with sincere pain thanks to the brilliant performances of Will Arnett and Laura Dern. Visually enriched by the intimate cinematography of Matthew Libatique, the movie teaches us that art can be our most honest cry.
A warm, essential reminder that it's never too late to grab the microphone and start telling our own story, transforming crisis into catharsis."
