A magazine described Cyrus as a 'mumblecore' film and that is an apt description. Cyrus had been advertised as a knock-about comedy instead of as an art-house influenced film. The Glaswiegan Friday night cinema audience were clearly disappointed by what they got for their 8 pounds and 7 young Asian guys walked out in a bad mood in the middle of the film.
Cyrus is OK but some of it is uncomfortable viewing. The plot revolves around a man who meets a woman at a party and starts a relationship with her. Problems develop when he meets her 22 year old Cyrus. At times Cyrus seems to have an almost incestual relationship with his mother and most of the film is played very straight. The characters and relationships are plausible.
Good film but not a feel-good film.
