Synopsis

Buzzard is a dark comedy film that follows the misadventures of a slacker named Marty.

The film provides a satirical look at the struggles of the millennial generation in a society marked by economic uncertainty and social alienation. With a raw and gritty aesthetic, Buzzard offers a compelling exploration of identity, alienation, and the search for meaning in a world that seems designed to crush individuality.

Reviews

Buzzard has received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its dark humor and offbeat style, while others found its story and characters to be too bleak and unlikable. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a solid 87% based on 23 reviews, with the consensus being 'a grimy, quirky comedy that's too odd for some, but one that scratches an itch for those seeking a darker, edgier cinematic experience.' Metacritic also gives Buzzard a respectable score of 77/100, indicating generally favorable reviews from critics. However, IMDb's rating of 6.3/10 suggests a more polarizing reaction from audiences. Critics have lauded Joshua Burge's performance as Marty, praising his commitment to the role and ability to capture the character's desperation and nihilism. The film's unconventional narrative and visual style have also been highlighted as strengths, with many critics noting its unique take on the slacker comedy genre.
