From director Janicza Bravo and co-writer Brett Gelman comes a darkly comedic exploration of life's bitter disappointments. The film follows Isaac, played by Brett Gelman, a struggling actor and perpetual victim of his own self-absorption. As his career stagnates and his personal life crumbles around him, Isaac's relationship with his long-suffering girlfriend, portrayed by Judy Greer, reaches a breaking point. The arrival of a blind, elderly man (played by Fred Melamed) and a series of absurd events force Isaac to confront his insecurities and failures. With a stellar ensemble cast including Michael Cera, Nia Long, and Rhea Perlman, this offbeat comedy weaves a surreal and uncomfortable narrative that examines privilege, resentment, and the sour taste of unmet expectations. Bravo crafts a visually striking and tonally daring film that balances cringe-inducing humor with genuine pathos, making "Lemon" a uniquely bitter yet unforgettable cinematic experience.
