Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Ramanpreet Singh This movie provides no closure. I don't mean it in the sense where they intentionally keep things open for you to interpret. The movie just collapsed under it's own premise. Stiller's impeccable though.

sergelamarche Little film somewhat comedic. I think they were off with the characters, quite a bit was forced. It was like caricaturing. Not all that bad in itself. I give it a pass. The young is not more cheating than the old, it's a personality trait.

Prismark10 Writer and director Noah Baumbach deals with what is liked to be middle aged in a youth obsessed society that is always looking for the next big young hotshot.Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts are Josh and Cornelia in this black tinged comedy. They are fortysomethings in New York. Their friends have kids, they have remained child free but age is catching up with them.Josh is a documentary film maker who made a successful film early in his career but is stuck in a project that is unwieldy and he is never likely to finish. Cornelia's father is a legendary film producer (Charles Grodin) who gives advice to to Josh about his documentary but Josh is unwilling to take it.A young couple Jamie (Adam Driver) and Darby (Amanda Seyfried) endear themselves to Josh and Cornelia who find themselves rejuvenated with the company of younger people and try crazy and hip things.Jamie has aspirations to be a documentary film-maker as well, Josh mentors him but soon discovers that Jamie has a cavalier approach to ethical film making and that their mutual friendship was more than just accidental and that Josh and Cornelia have been used for their connections.The film is sporadically amusing but is never involving, the four leads give good performances, Driver and Seyfried are charming and yet behind the facade also manipulative and self serving. It is great to see Grodin having a meaty cameo who in the end is just as deceptive and shallow as Jamie when it comes to documentary ethics.

xhidden99 Hard to tell. Did he set out to make fun of hipsters and middle aged people or does he secretly love them because they're fashionable upper middle class aesthetes, 'academics' and the cinema-class? Again hard to tell. Everyone has money and free time and no obligations....and they're miserable. And annoying. I'm kinda baffled. It's incisive in brief flashes but the dull parts that focus on dull people self referentially referring to themselves about themselves go on and on as if no one has ever discovered that most people are boring. We know they're boring. That's WHY we watch movies. We know couples that pour their lives into their kids. It's not a new thing. We know middle aged guys who are fools. But they know they're fools. If you don't know you're a fool then then you will always be a fool. A boring boring boring fool. Let's hope Noah's next movie is also about pompous intellectual film makers or maybe film critics. Or maybe college professors who teach film studies or film criticism.
