This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

I didn't see a review so am writing one because Gone Madigan is a 10 to me, not a 7.1, or whatever IMDb shows. Why? It's very funny. But so are many comics. She seems like an interesting person, someone you'd enjoy being around. So are many comics. So what makes her special? Her technique is flawless. I was just watching Joe Rogen, and as funny as he is, he resorts to saying things like "this is just comedy, I'm not like this in real life". Madigan never breaks her persona to excuse something. She doesn't break character to voice a pet peeve. She's very, very disciplined in how she tells her stories, though that is very far from how she appears. She makes it look easy, way TOO easy. She's one of the few comedians where I remember her bits long after watching. I remember the stories she tells. I can't say that for most comedians I watch. That's a 10 in my book.
