Misery Loves Company

About This Movie

Misery Loves Company is quite the curious piece from 2012. It weaves together a rather dark romantic comedy with threads of personal growth, which is always an interesting mix. Peter O'Brien plays Brian Norton, a projectionist drowning in his own woes after a breakup. The pacing has this uneven charm that fits the messy nature of heartbreak. Alison, played by Priscilla Wilson, serves as both muse and tormentor in a way. The atmosphere is heavy yet laced with humor, almost like the film is making light of heavy themes. There are some practical effects that add a quirky visual flair, though they don’t overshadow the performances, which carry an emotional weight that feels genuine. It's the kind of film that sticks with you, for better or worse.
