Friendship
Friendship break-ups are brutal.
For Craig Waterman, it’s especially tough.
When he meets neighbor Austin Carmichael, though, a real bromance begins.
Austin is something of a local celebrity as one of the news station’s meteorologists.
It doesn’t help that Craig also feels isolated in his own family.
Here, that tightness is taken to an extreme, drawn out over the film’s runtime.
It’s clear he just needs a buddy, someone who will ground his more absurd habits.
Friendshipscreened at the 2025 SXSW Film Festival.
A24 will release the film in theaters on May 9.
Friendship, released in 2024, follows suburban dad Craig Waterman as he encounters his enigmatic neighbor Austin Carmichael. Their connection over urban exploration and shared interests takes a turn when Craig’s obsessive nature threatens the budding camaraderie.
