This was great, Noah Baumbach muttered to himself, closing his Macbook a little too harshly. I really did enjoy this, he continued, bitterly taking a sip from his latte.
adrianDec 10, 2018“actually, we wanted to ask you about your eggs” “scrambled is good, but however you guys do them is fine with me” has to be one of my absolute favorite screenplays of the year, this was so surprisingly satisfying. kathryn hahn finally FINALLY gets the role she always…

83 Full of magnificent little gestures. The way Paul Giamatti resets the place-mat and silverware on a table, and when he deflates an inflatable mattress. How Kathryn Hahn smiles, a different emotion hiding underneath in every instance, poking its way…
SilentDawnJan 19, 2018A hilarious, profanely bougie, and crushingly honest story about a desperate couple trying something — anything — to have a baby before it’s too late, Tamara Jenkins’ first film since “The Savages” has been gestating for nine years, and it’s more than worth the…

I'm with the mom on this one, that decision is weird AF. Funny dramedy about the struggle of accepting infertility. All that money going to waste when they could've just adopted. Everyone had great acting performances in this one, but Molly Shannon stood out the most to me
Jayjayj625 lovedPrivate LifeI have such a deep connection with the topics in this movie that likely made me connect more than normal boosting this from a like to love. But this is raw, real, and important and as much as we want to see people come full circle, this movie shows real life.
Griffin McClary likedPrivate LifePretty good movie about the struggles of couples but also somewhat strange to grasp

A modern comedy-drama in the Woody Allen-Noah Baumbach mold — urban intellectuals talking their lives in circles — but what keeps it from being a live-action New Yorker cartoon is the heart beating away in the script and the performances. At over two hours, it’s long but it’s true.

The script crackles with small, brilliant moments.

Instead of offering a probing, nuanced view of the burgeoning technologies and sciences involved in this relatively new outgrowth of the OBGYN industry, though, Tamara Jenkins uses her setting as fodder for lame and discomfiting physical comedy.
