Chris Rock’s New York-centric 2014 comedy Top Five is one of those rare films over which both fans and critics agree: They liked it. In the video above you can enjoy even more of the movie in this exclusive behind-the-scenes look.

"The film feels freshly minted because the man who made it has such a lively mind and fearless style," wrote Joe Morgenstern of the Wall Street Journal. Joshua Rothkopf of Time Out New York called Rock’s directorial effort “a lost-artist comedy in the vein of Woody Allen’s Stardust Memories, but more deeply, a referendum on the dead-end choices Rock himself might be feeling.”

Top Five will be available on digital HD tomorrow and arrives on Blu-ray March 17.
