Review of The Squid and the Whale (2005) by Stanley Kauffmann for The New Republic — 11 Mar 2015
All four of the roles are written with pungency. There is even an implication that the two adults realize the triteness of the situation and that they--the characters, not Baumbach--want to speak from inner sources, not from a script.
Baumbach pulls this off with some sting and wit.
