A lonely college freshman's life is turned upside down by her impetuous, adventurous soon-to-be stepsister.
Noah Baumbach’s great run continues. Sharp, fast and witty, it’s old school screwball comedy with a cool modern twist. And Greta Gerwig is a bona fide genius.
As ever with Baumbach, this is rich and intellectually ambitious but it flounders as it descends into farce – just like Brooke, it's not quite sure where it wants to go.
Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach create a hilarious and hectic picture that returns us to their signature themes of life crises and tragicomic delusions.
Frequently funny in Noah Baumbach's familiar, deadpan way.
Tough to decide if it's too clever, or not clever enough. Either way, it's hard not to feel like you're trapped inside something you don't quite get.
