Overview

• The film began its German theatrical run on August 28, 2025.
• Known for dark dramas, Aronofsky shifts to a kinetic crime caper he says is not a comedy, noting the first ten minutes contain more jokes than all his prior films combined.
• Set in late-1990s New York, the plot follows Hank, played by Austin Butler, whose simple cat-sitting favor for neighbor Russ, played by Matt Smith, draws him into danger.
• The ensemble includes Zoë Kravitz, Vincent D’Onofrio, Regina King and Liev Schreiber.
• Aronofsky frames the movie as pushback against short-attention “meme culture” tied to TikTok and Instagram, with reviewers citing Tarantino and Guy Ritchie-style energy.
