Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

aminrigi In his last stand up (Annihilation), Patton Oswalt masterfully combines tragedy with comedy.He lost his wife last year. And now, Patton has set a new mission for himself: To spread the message of his late wife: "Life is chaos. Be kind".

Mr-Fusion Man, that had to have been hard; but he makes it look easy. Considering the levels of Patton Oswalt's despair over the past year, that's the mark of a remarkably honed talent. The only thing worse than losing a significant other is having to bream the news to your child. It's the last thing I'd even want to do. But Oswalt has a gift for turning pain into laughs and rolling with the punches; and all of this is after his hilariously sticky conversation with the front row. Dull moments just don't arise. There are funnier standup specials with more memorable knee-slappers, but I don't think I've ever seen any like this; as soul-crushing as it is uplifting. It is the work of a man who's mastered his craft. 10/10

bettycjung 10/21/17. Despite the tragedy of his private life, Oswalt rises above it in this stand-up comedy worth watching. His honesty about the death of his wife was truly cathartic for him but was probably somewhat reassuring to the audience as well. He is funny without resorting to bad language. His observational humor is spot on and hopefully we will get to see more of him in the future.

aquaphoenix Patton Oswalt has been a long time favorite comedian of mine, following him through his career and life. When his wife Michelle died tragically in her sleep in April 2016 at age 46, Patton was faced with the daunting task of being sole parent to their kindergarten daughter, Alice.Patton handles his material with grace, anger, intelligence, humor and honest heart-wrenching grit. I laughed and wept, was angry alongside him and felt buoyed with hope in spite of it all.Because as Patton explained Michelle's philosophy of life as "It's chaos. Be kind" in a bit thru which he walked the thin line between humor and sadness, with looks from people in the audience who were trying to stifle polite & nervous laughter, he brought the audience through to the other side. Because there is no place else to go...Patton's "Annihilation" is the best of what I love, respect and admire in comedians: they bring us to a place out side our comfort zones, encouraging us to look more closely, leading by example that a best lived life, is the examined life, and a life examined with humor."It's chaos. Be kind." ~ Michelle Eileen McNamara
