I've been through a divorce. The amiability between the characters while her god-awful lawyer was going in dry on him was one of the least believable things of the movie.I “liked” it (as much as you can like a movie about divorce). If you’ve been through a messy divorce you can relate to it.
NB is hit and miss for me. “Kicking and screaming” is a great kids movie, “While we,re young” I loved, and whilst I thought The Meyerwitz stories was a a level below I still appreciated it.
But yes, the Life Aquatic, Squid and the whale, Margot at the wedding and Greenberg ....zzzzzz.
The Life Aquatic was Wes Anderson, and leagues better than anything Baumbach has crapped out, with the exception of The Meyerwitz stories, which was good.
