Igby Goes Down
“Insanity is relative.”
ComedyDrama
Igby Slocumb, a rebellious and sarcastic 17-year-old boy, is at war with the stifling world of old money privilege he was born into. With a schizophrenic father, a self-absorbed, distant mother, and a shark-like young Republican big brother, Igby figures there must be a better life out there -- and sets about finding it.
VIBE
A sharp, cynical coming-of-age story steeped in privilege and dysfunction. Igby's sardonic wit and desperate search for belonging create a darkly funny, yet poignant, exploration of a privileged youth's disillusionment.
