Review: “Greenberg” (Noah Baumbach, USA)

Yes, the scene where one of the characters in Greenberg gets an abortion is unhysterical. And, yeah, the friendship between the men…

Berlinale. Noah Baumbach’s “Greenberg” Review + Roundup

Strip the slapstick and the rom-com conventions from Ben Stiller’s onscreen persona, and of what’s left, what would be the ratio of dark…

Snatching an instant here or a moment there from this brilliant, pulsing movie is to do it an injustice. Emotions come and go in a flash—from painful adolescent diffidence to embarrassing reversions to one-upmanship to the greater mortifications of ill-chosen words and actions that betray a conflicted heart—each one lovingly wrought and then positioned within the great whirlwind of human interaction.

The conventional wisdom around Noah Baumbach as a cranky misanthrope with a preemptive grudge against his fictional players—one of the hoariest ad-hominem characterizations in circulation—wasn’t yet in full swing when The Squid and the Whale bruised audiences with its lucidity and rawness… The film executes its mercilessness in dart throws, with each offhand aggression piercing the cork around the bull’s-eye until the board is nearly filled up and a moment of release is granted.

We’re trapped in an intimate relationship with these people. The never impersonal perspective is evident, too, in the disorienting rush of the editing, which is as knife’s-edgy as the abrupt dialogue (unlike in most movies about “literate” people, scene partners don’t engage in a sustained rally: they brutally swat ground strokes past each other). People, places, and moments exist in almost uncomfortably vital proximity, spatial and temporal.

My favourite Noah Baumbach film, hit very close to home. Young Jesse Eisenberg is such a cute little shit.

Jeff Daniels is outstanding. Every single ounce of this film oozes purpose, a true and honest exploration, I came away with clarity and I can't thank it enough. Deserves everyone's full attention.

Caden Cotard's rating of the film Der Tintenfisch und der Wal
Caden Cotard

A prickly, well-written, excellently-acted little familial drama from Noah Baumbach (who would go on to do prickly, well-written, etc. familial dramas Margot at the Wedding and Greenberg). Jesse Eisenberg and Jeff Daniels are the highlights, but Laura Linney's overlooked performance is brilliant as well.

Great scripts like this don't come along too often. Jeff Daniels also gives a very endearing performance that shows how underrated he is. All in all i was completely taken by this film!

Beautiful, smart, and Baumbach's homage to Godard, Renoir, Truffaut and his other French New Wave predecessors.

Sometimes I think Baumbach's "honesty" is really the complete opposite. Instead of being realistic, it's quite an extreme dramatization of character... but maybe that's just because I've never met people who speak like the characters in his movies. At any rate, his films are growing on me, and I hope to fully connect with this film upon my next viewing. Laura Linney = always amazing. UPDATE: I did.

***1/2. Jesse Eisenberg and Jeff Daniels play two of the most irritating characters I've seen in years.
