Racy, realistic, funny. Brutally honest people.
It’s been a while, but I remember a fair amount of tennis.
This is one film everyone should watch once. Just full of different emotions to different people all relating to one thing
Noah Baumbach is great at making movies about family, and this is no different. It shows how a family can come together despite the hate.
It's really dry, and hits a little too close to home for anyone that's been apart of a divorce in a traditional family.
This movie tackles dark and brooding themes, it shows how children are being shaped according to their parents behaviour in an genius way.
Great film. the complexities of family life and the neurotic behaviour that gets passed down through to the next generation
It’s a nice enjoyable film to watch on a Sunday - not amazing, but something good to put on nonetheless.
What an incredible and funny movie that has a twist when you get a surprisingly amount of heart and depth.
Honestly the right movie to cope over broken families
