A third weighed in: "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is unreal! It’s hilarious, smart, and so self-aware. It’s just great. Pedro Pascal and Nic Cage have unbelievable chemistry and will steal your heart with their bromance here. They’re hysterical. This movie is an absolute blast. #SXSW."

Another added: "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent: Nicolas Cage plays himself as a self-deprecating lunatic in an unhinged meta tour of his greatest hits. Funniest, rowdiest film of the fest. Electric buddy action chemistry with Pedro Pascal. #SXSW2022."
