Our take
This squirm-inducing debut from Mike White (The White Lotus) was a breath of fresh air through Sundance, and it’s not hard to see why. A daringly original stalker drama, shot through with jet-black comedy, which still treats its subjects empathetically? Chuck & Buck really bucked the trend.
