Cyrus
John met the woman of his dreams. Then he met her son...
Directed by Jay Duplass, Mark Duplass
Produced by Fox Searchlight Pictures, Duplass Brothers Productions
A darkly comedic mumblecore romance about a love triangle between a lonely divorcée, an appealing woman, and her unnervingly possessive son, balancing awkward humor with genuine emotional stakes.
With John's social life at a standstill and his ex-wife about to get remarried, a down on his luck divorcée finally meets the woman of his dreams, only to discover she has another man in her life - her son. Before long, the two are locked in a battle of wits for the woman they both love-and it appears only one man can be left standing when it's over.
