About The Mimic

After unsettling rendezvous, the truth he finds is anything but what he expected.
Directed by Thomas F. Mazziotti, The Mimic leans on a strong ensemble — Thomas Sadoski, Jake Robinson, Austin Pendleton — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2021.
