I can see now why Netflix has been throwing out so many Noah Baumbach films my way – most likely because this was just about to be released (and produced) by Netflix.
Similar kind of humour to The Squid and the Whale – the dad was almost exactly the same in both films. He even uses the same phrase, calling something "a minor work". The father figures are so bad in all of Baumbach's films it makes me think he may not have had the best father...
There are some big names in this film, and they all put in good performances. The dialogue is good, and funny, and there are some great comedic moments (the blood on Ben Stiller's nose giving the speech made me chortle).
Not bad. 7/10
