The movie is, among other things, very specifically and unabashedly Canadian, and made with evident love for its city. But I expect this is a comedy that can transcend borders.

4/4

It’s also an early contender for the funniest and most charming movie of the year.

Viewed charitably, “Nirvanna” is both a mockumentary and a pensive scan of the road not taken, its pell-mell energy tempered by pathos.

The film feels destined to become a DVD-shelf comedy classic...that rewards multiple rewatches.

Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol operate on their own wavelength [like] Nathan Fielder and Tim Robinson.

Did not know this was a follow up to a TV show prior to seeing the movie. So much fun and some genuinely big laughs. Clever use of time travel tropes. Cannot believe this got made gorilla film style.

I thought I would love it and laugh more. It was clever but not what I was expecting. The ending wasn’t great. There wasn’t any big laughs that I was expecting. Still a clever idea of a movie.
