Ashby

About This Movie

So, Ashby is an interesting blend of comedy, drama, and a touch of romance that leans heavily on the relationship between Ed, the young protagonist, and his enigmatic neighbor, Ashby, who has this rich, shadowy past as a CIA assassin. The pacing is a bit uneven, but there's a certain charm in how their bond develops against the backdrop of Ashby's terminal prognosis. It’s got these moments that feel genuinely heartfelt, mixed with dark humor, which makes it distinctively engaging. The performances, particularly by the lead actors, carry a lot of weight, and the tonal shifts give it a unique flavor. There's this atmosphere of bittersweetness, like it's always hovering between laughter and a more serious reflection on life and mortality.
