After the amazing Frances Ha, Noah Baumbach is back with another truly original modern
comedy. While We’re Young is fierce and sharp, this is a movie that can challenge the viewer in every single way, from the ageing issue to the same old preconceptions feelings that when you’re forty you should live your life according to your age. From the childless mid forties couple – Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts – to their boring couple of friends with children, from their boring ass routine to their new and free spirited younger friends – Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried. A clash of generations that brings all the best ingredients that we have seen in all previous Noah Baumback movies. While We’re Young is wise and funny, intellectually different, it’s an indie satirical comedy, quite similar to Woody Allen’s way of portraying relationships and overall society.
