01
Your Sister's Sister
Why this pick
Its intimate, improvisational texture and painfully awkward romantic entanglement echo Cyrus, while allowing flawed adults to be funny, selfish, and surprisingly sympathetic.

02
The Skeleton Twins
Why this pick
Like Cyrus, it finds warmth inside emotional messiness: bruised people use deadpan humor and uncomfortable honesty to navigate family bonds and stalled adulthood.
03
Please Give
Why this pick
A sharp, compassionate ensemble dramedy about guilt, envy, and connection, with the same preference for unglamorous behavior, quietly escalating discomfort, and humane laughs.
04
Enough Said
Why this pick
For Cyrus's blend of middle-aged romantic vulnerability and social discomfort, this offers an equally observant, affectionate look at dating when emotional baggage refuses to stay private.
05
The Overnight
Why this pick
It turns an uneasy new friendship into escalating, laugh-out-loud discomfort, using natural performances and a deceptively ordinary domestic setting much like Cyrus's intimate tension.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Jamie (Catherine Keener) informs her ex-husband John (John C. Reilly) that she is getting married. Even though they have been apart for seven years, the news devastates John, who was already depressed. At a party the next night, John gets more and more drunk until he ends up urinating in the bushes, where Molly (Marisa Tomei) strikes up a conversation. Molly goes back to John's house but leaves during the night, after they have had sex. Molly returns for dinner the next night, and again leaves after they have had sex. John follows her to her house and falls asleep in his car. The next morning, he approaches the house and meets Molly's 21-year-old son Cyrus (Jonah Hill). Cyrus invites John inside and makes friendly conversation with him. Molly is startled to see John in her house when she returns, but the trio have dinner together. John is unnerved by the unnatural intimacy between Molly and Cyrus.
