Movies like Cyrus

“Cyrus (2010) is a 2010s American comedy-drama that stages a domestic power play between a lonely divorcé and a territorial teenage son. It frames that conflict as a tonal hybrid—tight, intimate compositions and a high-contrast chiaroscuro lighting grammar foreground awkwardness and psychological imbalance. Cyrus argues simply and precisely that small-scale domestic insecurity can be both comic and unsettling, making the film a compact study of ownership, masculinity and social embarrassment.”
