Beloved comedian and ground-breaking podcast host Marc Maron reluctantly pulls back the curtain on his everyday life in Steven Feinartz’s Are We Good? Here, we see Maron laid bare as the COVID-19 pandemic halts his thriving standup career, yanking him into an unwelcome, caged existence that is shortly followed by the devastating unimaginable —the sudden loss of his partner and brilliant filmmaker Lynn Shelton. Bringing Feinartz along as he grapples with this new reality, we take a trip through the ups and downs of the career that led us to Maron at 60.
Expectedly hilarious yet intensely poignant, Maron speaks to the undulating waves of hiscareer, as well as his thoughts on aging, cats and relationships, with a sharp vulnerability cut against his signature biting paranoia. Striking a beautiful balance of humor and melancholy, Feinartz’s film solidifies Maron as one of the most compellingly complicated voices in comedy whose reflections on loss ring painfully true.
