Cristian S @cristiansj Mar 15 En los primeros minutos cuando la pareja madura y estable sin hijos conoce a los hippies, empieza a salir con ellos y muestran todos los contrastes de edad de forma tan divertida es cuando la película brilla. A medida que avanzan los minutos y todo se enfoca mas en la trama del documental es cuando cae en picada y deja de valer la pena. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 11 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more alan g @agenser Jul 18 Any movie with Ben Stillborn in it is crap. He is a terrible actor. A waste of Amanda Seydlfried and Naomi Watts. Overplayed by Adam Driver as usual. See more 04/19/2025 10 years old and director Noah Boaumbach succeeds making a film about being very young, being very old and being in-between Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts are fine with just being married and having no kids yet when they bump into a 20-something couple they are comfortable with feeling like their old selves again no one's ever too old or too young to enjoy themselves there are perks to being 25 vice versa 44 yet both come with the ups and downs sometimes age sneaks up on us when we least expect it as well the ending is quite adorable I'll say and immediately evokes the notion of being young one second then transitioning to an adult See more Ola G @Ollie1972 11/10/2024 Middle-aged couple Josh (Ben Stiller) and Cornelia Srebnick (Naomi Watts) are filmmakers living in a shaky marriage in New York City. Josh has spent the last 10 years struggling on the post-production of his documentary film about leftist intellectual Ira Mandelstam while not letting his producer wife help him with the project. After finishing a lecture at the college where he teaches, Josh is approached by Jamie (Adam Driver) and Darby Massey (Amanda Seyfried), a young millennial couple who invite him and Cornelia out to dinner. Jamie claims to be a fan of Josh's work and the works of his accomplished documentary filmmaker father-in-law, Leslie Breitbart (Charles Grodin). Josh is immediately awestruck by Jamie and Darby's non-conservative outlook on life as he and Cornelia begin spending more and more time with them, joining in on their bohemian lifestyle... Rotten Tomatoes consensus is "Poignant and piercingly honest, While We're Young finds writer-director Noah Baumbach delivering some of his funniest lines through some of his most relatable characters." Peter Debruge of Variety wrote: "Though While We’re Young is primarily a comedy—and a very funny one at that, managing to be both blisteringly of-the-moment and classically zany in the same breath—Baumbach has bitten off several serious topics, for which laughter serves as the most agreeable way to engage." Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote: "If While We’re Young hadn’t gone quite so broad at the finish line, it would be a contender for my favorite movie of the still-young year." Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter called it a "mostly engaging but only fitfully inspired serio-comedy." (Via Wikipedia) Noah Baumbach continues to deliver kitchen sink realism and "While We're Young" points to that stagnant feeling you might end up in during your middle age, the feeling of being stuck in your everyday, and life just moves on but you are not really moving along with it. And then this moment of clarity check emerges and you jump on it to see where it leads. Then again it might not lead to what you thought... With that said there's clear touchpoints in the film that you can recognise yourself in. The ensemble cast of Stiller, Watts, Driver and Seyfried are all great, but at the same time it feels like all of them always seems to play the same character. Particularly Ben Stiller... "While We're Young" engages, but it also carries this flatlined feeling with no real highs. It's a bit blend and a bit boring to be honest. But, still worth a watch.
