Movie Recommendation: The Art of Self Defense

I want to be what intimidates me

Youtube suggested the trailer for this movie mid 2019 and had been on my watchlist since then. Unfortunately this movie was not shown in the theaters around where I live, but it was available on RedBox in November and I picked it up as soon it was available. 

If you are bit tired of movies with traditional story lines, recurring themes and looking for something different, this movie would be a great pick. Everyone in this movie did a great job. Jesse Eisenberg plays “Jesse Eisenberg” and I believe nobody could have done a better cast than him for this character arc. 

This is a brilliant movie and I am very glad I got to see it. This movie is not a traditional comedy and wont have many big laugh out loud moments. Even the characters themselves are not funny in a traditional sense, however the plot combined with the situation and the acting makes this movie freaking hilarious with underlying commentary about toxic masculinity (not just from a feminist point of view, but also how it affects men).

This movie might not be for everyone, but if you are into cleverly written story blended with black comedy. This is a must watch.
