A wonderful, unusual comedy, brilliantly directed and performed. A beautiful photograph of a moment in the lives of the three characters, the film has all the energy that a short film should have.

A hilarious tale on wrestling worklife balance
thenextrushmagazine22 January 2021
Will Ferrell stays true to form finding humour from material he is given. Playing a therapist, his son David interrupts a life threatening session of one of his patients as work and home life comes to a head! Such a simple plot packed with stomach belching laughs, the cast (Fred Hechinger and William Jackson Harper) don't miss a beat in the delivery of this tales punchlines.
Smart, funny, and surprisingly heartwarming.

DAVID starts as a dark comedy and gradually grows as an exploration of an ordinary(-ish) father-and-son relationship that will questions about what we need in our life. In his first directorial debut, Zach Woods has proven himself to be a director to watch. And with strong performances from all cast, this is definitely a joy to watch.
The Will Ferrel You Know -- but a little different
thisisorganic25 July 2021
It's fun to see Will Ferrel go a little darker in this short film with a role custom built just for him. I love that there are two characters named David and they both need help. All in all, a memorable dramedy short.
Fantastic writing 9/10

about yourself
Kirpianuscus28 January 2021
I am far to be a fan of Will Ferrel. But this film, in my case, change more about my opinion about him. Because not only he gives a beautiful job but it propose a brilliant portrait of the large halls of tension in fine silence moments. A shrink, his pacient, his boy , frustrated by the absence of the father from his significant wrestling match. Easy, you say the spoiled young man, the vulnerable pacient, the father in difficult/delicate situation. But you know be much more. At the end, you feel this short film being about yourself, from options to duties and the schedule defining you, priority by priority.
Enjoyed the emotional ride this story took me on

Funny, witty scriptwritting
kinimatodrasis7 April 2021
Funny, witty scriptwritting makes this piece take a serious matter and shine light on different perspectives of one situation. The cinematography feels natural and fits the comedic theme of the narrative (things like whips of the camera between actors whilst the narrative is progressing).
Bringing in the big names of Will Ferrell and William Jackson Harper - talent who have made their reputation in comedy further adds to the authenticity and the light-hearted approach that this short film brings.
Overall, a very sophisticated, yet comedic piece.

WOW! WHAT A MASTERPIECE!!
This is a fantastic and genuis shortfilm! One of the greatest ever shortfilms i have ever seen!
The acting and story is fantastic and excellent performorence!
Its a beautiful and a sad story, with a very clever ending!
Its unexpected and genuinely a very good filming!
The film is a deep dive into our human natury and a film that makes you think, at the same time its a parody of a tough conversation, with great humour and genius manuscript.
People dont understand how hard it is to tell a story in 10 minutes.
It deserves so much! It deserves very much its price in Cannes!
I really recommend this masterpiece! Its totally worth your time! And reflect the ending!
