Henry and Marvin

About This Movie

So, Henry and Marvin, it's a quirky little film, right? Set in this group home, you get this odd dynamic where Henry, who’s kind of a puppet master, uses these positive reinforcement tricks on Marvin. It’s like a darkly comedic ballet of manipulation. The pacing has this unsettling rhythm; it feels slow but is really building up to this sort of tension. The performances are interesting too—Henry's charm masks a real undercurrent of menace. You catch glimpses of the emotional weight of their lives in the home, which adds a layer of depth. The comedy isn’t always laugh-out-loud, but it’s often uncomfortable and thought-provoking. Definitely a distinctive blend of comedy and drama that hangs around in your mind long after the credits roll.
