Review of While We're Young (2015) by Trailesque — 30 Dec 2016
Baumbach does Woody. A 40-something couple, documentary filmmakers, struggling with fertility and career issues, find themselves smitten by a younger couple's seemingly pure, creative life. There are some very funny moments, particularly pertaining to Josh's tedious, pretentious documentary that focuses on a Chomsky-like character.
Much of the first half is predictable, but things spark up a bit as it when a conflict develops between Josh and his protege, who turns out to be more ambitious and sneaky than he seemed to be. This is not my favorite from Baumbach, but it is still worth watching.
