I thought Maniac was 90% excellent. Jonah Hill and Emma Stone.

I really don’t even know where to start to describe this.

There’s some graphic violence in a couple of scenes, but not a lot. It’s outstanding, mostly, I got lost in a bit of it towards the end, but the end is worth it. It’s dystopic but hopeful and occasionally hilarious. I’m curious what you guys think if you watch it. Does deal with issues of mental health, friendship and the nature of reality.

I’m a great fan of Jonah Hills work in recent years, especially don’t worry he won’t get far on foot and Stutz.

It was pretty different and it took a while to get into it. I'd give it 31/2 stars.
