BlackBerry (2023)
Based on the true story of the meteoric rise and catastrophic demise of the world’s first smartphone, BlackBerry is a whirlwind ride through a ruthlessly competitive Silicon Valley.
The comedy stars Emmy winner Jay Baruchel (FUBAR, This is the End, and the voice of Hiccup in the How to Train Your Dragon films), Glenn Howerton (A.P. Bio, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), and Matt Johnson, who also wrote and directed.
After premiering at Berlin, BlackBerry went on to win over 25 awards and earn a 98% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics’ consensus says: “With intelligence as sharp as its humour, BlackBerry takes a terrifically entertaining look at the rise and fall of a generation-defining gadget.”
