I had the same trajectory with Baumbach that I did with a band like the Ramones. Where when I first was getting into films, in my teen years, his movies floored me. I then got a bit older and tried to fight against these films as too simplistic and too popular with people I found insufferable. Now I just see him as the genius he is and relate to a lot in his films, despite an obvious difference in lifestyle.

Tempo de Decisão estreava há 25 anos nos EUA. Típico produto do cinema americanos dos anos 90, talvez eu tivesse gostado mais se o tivesse visto quando lançado ou quando eu era recém saída da minha primeira faculdade. O maior achado aqui é a personagem do Eric Stoltz (vi no imdb que ele nem existia inicialmente), pena o seu pouco tempo em cena e ter aquele monte macho chato do caralho em detrimento dele. WEBRip no MakingOff.

Kicking and Screaming, Noah Baumbach'in gizli bir hazinesi. Üniversite sonrası sorumlu yetişkinliğe geçişin telaşı, kabul etmek zorunda kaldığımız gerçekler, gözden çıkardığımız hayaller, kopan ilişkiler ve yeniden kesişen hayatlarla acı tatlı, oldukça iyi bir drama.

I think I developed a crush on Olivia d'Abo in this film only because she kept taking her retainer out and putting it back in her mouth. It's a weird fascinating quirk that kept me riveted.

Not bad. And yes, as others have observed, Baumbach's debut would appear to borrow heavily from Stillman, perhaps with a dash of Linklater. Two writer-directors by which it is, needless to say, very much worth getting inspired.

Anything for Krelboyne Chris Eigeman. Extra points for him and those transcendental scenes that introduce Jane in each of her scenes. It's all those little things, and its depiction of Post-grad malaise, that stop this film from being baseless mumblecore. I found it by luck on Netflix, and expecting to not like it that much i ended up going a couple of steps above total indifference.

Transparently the work of a young man, this debut does indeed seem to be genetically related to the work of Whit Stillman, and a kind of higher class, more educated version of DINER but where the uncertainty of what's coming next is rendered with a much greater sense of terror before the abyss. Shows his promise, and contains enough wit, without being anything remarkable.

Meandering drama is obviously a heartfelt effort from writer-director Baumbach, but it becomes increasingly difficult to invest much affection, sympathy or ultimately interest in a group of basically shallow and vacuous people with "first world problems." A dire lack of conflict (or even incident) makes it difficult to care at a certain point - when a tepid road rage encounter is your major dramatic centrepiece, you know you're in trouble! At least the ensemble work well together.

This is a good ensemble film. The script has several good moments and there are a nice mix of funny and dramatic moments. The actors do a good job with the material. Overall I would recommend this film.

A movie about the period in one's life between college and "real adult life," it's quirky, observational, funny, and continually interesting, even if it's hard to keep track of all the characters and apart from a few personality quirks, they're all bland.

This was a real disappointment as I've really enjoyed Baumbach's recent films. Criterion obviously saw some merit in it as they released it on their DVD collection. It might have made a bigger impact on me had I seen it without the weight of his other films, but when compared to those, it felt really pretentious and forced. That said, you could see a lot of the same ingredients that Baumbach would later use in his later films. This was like a test run for better things to come.

Well, at least now we know how many improvements Baumbach has made in his craft since 1995!

First watch: 2015. First impression: Baumbach has come a long way. And it hasn't aged well.
