in line for the NYFF premiere

still processing but I really enjoyed this, Adam had the standout performance but Don Cheadle was funny in every scene he showed up in. There’s a weird offbeat humor throughout this that I can see most people loving or being annoyed by. Also best movie ending I’ve seen all year

This movie is real different from the usual Noah character studies huh

definitely. it was like part 80s spielberg (but also war of the worlds spielberg), part critique on modern america which he kind of did in ‘While We’re Young’, and part Fantastic Mr Fox which i’m just now learning he co-wrote

I didn’t know he co-wrote Mr. Fox makes sense tho I can see how Noah and Wes style would mesh well

But damn this sounds dope. How would you rank it within his other films

frances ha
mistress america
white noise
marriage story
while we’re young
the squid and the whale
the meyerowitz stories
greenberg
kicking and screaming

my rank rn, i can see it changing tho

damn I still gotta see some of these. I do like the meyerowitz stories but the only thing that confused me about the movie was why Adams character was so comfortable seeing his daughter naked, s*** was weird

finished this a few weeks back. very interesting novel

really happy to see white noise so high. obviously you're just one person but your list aligns pretty well with mine and i was starting to not like what i was hearing for some other people

It really tries to fit a lot into one movie but imo it works, I’m honestly not sure if I would’ve enjoyed it less had I not read the book beforehand

Oscar bait

Flop

Next

Tf is don cheadles hair

that’s wild you got Greenberg so low. i like that one a good bit, enjoyed it more than Mistress America

Is it character driven like his usual movies?

both character and plot driven kind of, the movie centers around something that happens in the 2nd act of the story but shows how Adam Driver's character and his family deal with it

Ahhh sounds dope, can’t wait to see it

trailer gives away a lot about the plot, skip if u wanna go in blind

I must say based on that trailer, baumbach is definitely capturing the feeling and atmosphere of the novel as close as one could get imo.

rewatching this Saturday

Looks amazing

Adam Sandler said Noah is already writing his next film. Possible collab.
