Fully Realized Humans

Due to their easy energy and Leonard's subtle, lo-fi direction and tone (shadows of the modern master of comedic discomfort, Onur Tukel), Fully Realized Humans is a lot more complete than it first seems.

Weixler and Leonard dig into first-time-parent neurosis with just the right balance of clownish comedy and cathartic drama...

Humans cares sincerely about its protagonists' navel-gazing earnestness, accepting the validity of their quest despite the nuttiness of the results.

It's not quite fully realized, but it's charming enough to make clear that this duo shouldn't wait another decade to cook up another idea.

Fully Realized Humans tackles relatively heavy subjects with a light but deft touch.

Fully Realized Humans offers an honest look at an expecting couple's anxieties towards becoming parents, but its approach is simply not compelling.

Leonard and Weixler are trying to do a few things here with their screenplay, only some of which are actually successful. Mostly, it's a comedy that's not particularly funny.

A sometimes hilarious post-mumblecore meditation, rumination and romp about getting prepared (for childbirth) and realizing how unprepared you are...and panicking.

Despite all that darkness, this is a comedy. There are a lot of hilarious scenes in Fully Realized Humans,

Anchored by Joshua Leonard and Jess Weixler's infectious chemistry and offbeat script, Fully Realized Humans inherits enough wit and veracity to make it a gently realized journey worth embarking on for the unexpected laughs and bizarre appeal.
