Review of While We're Young (2015) by Jeanrenoir13 — 23 Apr 2015
Although I've seen ever Baumbach film since Squid, I've never really liked any of them. I was hoping that this one would finally be actually funny and mildly satirical of aging would-be hipsters in Brooklyn as well as younger would-be hipsters there.
But I found the film boring, tedious, unwitty, and too earnest in the end. I'm going to have to give up on Baumbach. The contrast with the brilliance of Woody Allen at his best could not be stronger. Baumbach takes himself far too seriously as an artiste, and his "art" suffers.
And Baumbach's simply not as sharp as Allen, much less as funny.
