I didn't see that plot twist-which wasn't- coming and I adored the excellent commentary on film making and art. These really are different times, aye? The Baumbach's realization of this, I would like to believe, is what makes his movies rather unique and also to a degree a mirror to us all (and him?). The movie itself isn't as watchable and well written generally speaking, Noah has proven that he can do better, but it's still enjoyable. But it has Stiller, which is a deal breaker for some.Notme.

Weird film, some intersting themes but the delivery is lacking in subtlety. The characters are unlikable as always in Baumbach films, but the redeeming qualities are missing in this case.

Truly strange one here. Baumbach is, I guess, trying to articulate the inversion of creative insecurity in relation to age, but the plot is so flimsy it couldn't even begin to bear its own message. A weird instance of feeling both over-developed and under-developed this is easily Baumbach's worst human study.

Baumbach does what he always does, just less interesting. Stiller does what he always does, which has never been very interesting.

This one's a little unusual in Baumbach's filmography so far - where his characters' denial of being left behind are typically contrasted against the reality that shows them shit out of luck, here the denial is briefly indulged, a wild ride of 44 year old hipster Ben Stiller until it all inevitably comes crashing down. Need to think some more on where the filmmaking commentary factors into all this. Definitely one of his densest and most idiosyncratic works yet.

Noah Baumbach strikes gold with another incisive commentary on modern life in WHILE WE'RE YOUNG, a film that explores of the difference between experience and wisdom. Adam Driver is phenomenal as a dissembling hipster-type who upends the lives of a neurotic Gen X couple who realize that life still has plenty of lessons in store for them. Smart, funny, and knowing, the movie tells us that getting older is not always fun, but at least there's always something new to learn.

Baumbach continues to write dialogue that is incredibly personal and better than most of anything else out of Hollywood these days. The film, as a whole, is probably not about much more than its opening quotes, but it says so in a very entertaining way. I think watching this 10 years from now would devastate me.
