Review

igby goes down has a unique, dark sense of humor that probably won’t appeal to everyone, but is one that i found pretty entertaining. it’s not entirely a comedy though, in fact much of the film deals with pretty heavy issues (mental disease, drug abuse, relationships, and death to name a few). thankfully the comic relief is maintained throughout the film because, even though the acting and writing are pretty solid, i don’t think the film could have functioned solely as a dramatic piece. if you’re a “hipster doofus” like me then you’ll like the soundtrack.
