Inside felt like a hilariously disturbing, and disturbingly hilarious, deep dive into my own internet-addled brain. Go to Full Review

Though his Netflix pandemic special focuses on home confinement, it's entertaining enough - and beautiful enough - to work in a theater. Go to Full Review

Maybe five years from now it, too, will be hailed as a classic. Or, once the apathy subsides and we all transition out of the liminal space between lockdown and full reopening, maybe we'll recall it, vaguely, as some decent content about and of its time. Go to Full Review

One of the greatest films to emerge from the pandemic, an always funny, frequently scathing and often emotional tour-de-force of comedy. Go to Full Review

I laughed through multiple viewings of Burnham’s song-filled reflections on living through the pandemic, though it’s the deep personal moments that stick with me. Go to Full Review

@Kiwiboo Dec 5 It's hilarious, it does amazing at everything it sets out to do, and it always resonates with something inside of me. It's very unique in what it does and how it portrays itself, being a movie filmed during the pandemic as Bo Burnham performs songs, jokes, and a story through the entire duration of the film. It's something I hadn't expected of Bo Burnham after having watched his other specials before this, but it's definitely the best special he's ever put out. There is something deeply personal about this film — Something you might feel on your first time watching, but something you'll definitely feel more and more if you should continue to rewatch it. See more Selma K Nov 13 I just saw this. I wish had seen it during the pandemic. It made me speechless in a way. It captured how a person felt during covid. How stuck you felt. And how you couldn't do anything about it. It was as if I was looking through this window. Beeing reminded of it all again. At the same time as we see the room getting more and more dishevelled as the story unfold. The cameras, the room, bo himself just feels smaller and smaller as time goes on. Wild.
