In John Krasinski's directorial debut, a darkly comic and emotionally raw drama unfolds through a series of intimate, unsettling conversations. The film follows Sara Quinn (Julianne Nicholson), a graduate student and anthropologist who is conducting research for a book on male psychology. Reeling from a painful breakup, she interviews a diverse array of men, each revealing their raw, often disturbing perspectives on love, sex, and relationships.
From the pompous and self-absorbed to the deeply vulnerable and broken, these men—played by a distinguished ensemble including Timothy Hutton, Dominic Cooper, Christopher Meloni, Bobby Cannavale, Chris Messina, Lou Taylor Pucci, Will Arnett, Rashida Jones, and Will Forte—lay bare their most private and hideous truths. As Sara listens, the line between interviewer and subject blurs, forcing her to confront her own past and the painful mysteries of the male psyche. Blending sharp wit with profound melancholy, the film explores the messy, complicated, and often ugly nature of human connection.
