DESCRIPTION:
How do you make a movie about a phone funny, thrilling, and borderline tragic? You let the Canadians do it. BlackBerry is a riotously sharp look at the improbable rise (and spectacular fall) of the original smartphone. Jay Baruchel plays the awkward genius with a gift for innovation; Glenn Howerton, shaved bald and unhinged, gives a performance of the year as the take-no-prisoners businessman who propels the company forward and shatters it in the same breath. Think The Social Network, but if it had more jokes and less smugness.
WHY IT’S A HIDDEN GEM:
This should’ve been a bigger hit—critics loved it, and tech nerds practically salivated over it—but it quietly slipped past the mainstream radar. Maybe because people assumed a film about BlackBerry would be boring or dated. It’s neither. It’s electric, weirdly poignant, and anchored by a jaw-dropping performance from Howerton that somehow didn’t get awards traction (a crime in itself).
