Clear History

It’s a terrible title, but try to overlook that. This feature-length comedy is what Larry David has been doing instead of making a ninth series of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It’s not quite Curb – The Movie but the riffs and rhythms are very similar.

David plays Nathan Flomm, a top marketing guy who becomes a national laughing stock when he blows his chance of a fortune. So he starts a new life in Martha’s Vineyard, where years later his billionaire former boss (Jon Hamm) shows up in the same neighbourhood with a gorgeous wife (Kate Hudson) and plans to build a mansion.

From there, a deliciously stupid revenge tragedy unfolds, with weepingly funny moments and a nice cameo from Michael Keaton.
