Nicecore, a term first coined by IndieWire’s David Ehrlich, are comedies that are aggressively optimistic. They prioritize empathy, understanding, and togetherness which is typically, but not always, contrasted by some edge. Perhaps it’s the impermanence of life, the loneliness of small towns, or a nuanced take on mental health, through a broadly comedic lense Nicecore attempts to be a salve for right here, right now.
