Gefühlt Mitte Zwanzig (2014)

Gefühlt Mitte Zwanzig: Directed by Noah Baumbach. With Naomi Watts, Ben Stiller, Maria Dizzia, Adam Horovitz. A middle-aged couple’s career and marriage are overturned when a disarming young couple enters their lives.

“u0026quot;At the same age of Josh in the movie, Baumbachu0026#39;s self-reflexive instinct posits the story mostly from a flustered Joshu0026#39;s viewpoint, and Stiller is mildly exasperating for unable to act more sympathetic as the cynosure here, while the narrative around Wattsu0026#39; Cornelia, unfortunately still being predominantly defined by her womb (they would be fantastic parents!) and the two men in her life (her father and her husband, plus what is her occupation anyway?), is more amorphous, the same can be applied to Seyfriedu0026#39;s Darby, under the shadow of Jimmyu0026#39;s faux-bonhomie and faux-naïf facade, she becomes a mere cipher and introduced as someone who makes ice cream, whereas Driver naturalistically codes Jimmyu0026#39;s unpretentious effusion with a shady self-consciousness might be bypassed by more gullible viewers.u0026quot;u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eread my full review on my blog: cinema omnivore, thanks”
