Review of Greenberg (2010) by Dan A — 12 Mar 2013
I like Noah Baumbach's stuff usually, but most of the time I can take it or leave it. This however, I loved. There's something so incredibly relatable about Roger Greenberg to me, even though he's a 40+ man who's in the middle of a nervous breakdown.
Ben Stiller is great in this. The supporting cast also do very well, everyone feels like a real person. I guess that's what it is that makes this such a relatable film to me, realism. Everything is pretty close to the bone in that regard.
Like all of Baumbach's other work, this moves at a slow subtle pace which obviously won't be to everyone's taste, but for me I love slow burners like this.
