Mason M You already know I love a good Noah Baumbach picture. And Greenberg was an enjoyable and charming film that definitely does not disappoint in his filmography. Baumbach is on of few directors that I really trust to tackle the mundane. His dialogue in this is perfectly realistic yet still smart enough to still be very enjoyable and riveting to hear, and the writing all around in this film is stellar. Greenberg and Florence both were some of the most interesting and best written characters in Baumbach's filmography. Ben Stiller gives a great performance as the titular Greenberg, but the real highlight performance of this film was the newcomer Greta Gerwig. Her performance was phenomenal. She totally nails the pushover nature of the character, yet also exudes enough charm to get the right reaction from the audience, while staying a very plausible person you feel like you could know. This also was a very Baumbach film in all the best ways, from the characters to the cinematography to the music, it showed off all the strengths of his style. Greenberg was a pleasant surprise that definitely ranks among Baumbach's best. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Audience Member Floored by the good reviews. I'm puzzled by what I'm watching. Is this suppose to be how millennials interact? There is ZERO chemistry between the leads- but is there NOT suppose to be? I'm 55 so I Gen X but would think that human interaction hasn't changed a whole lot. Maybe I'm wrong? Both of these people almost never laugh/ almost never say anything funny/ and almost never show any kind of animation. Do millennials not have passion for anything? These 2 didn't. She's talented and confident enough to sing on a stage- yet seems not excited, not nervous, not anything. I couldn't tell if they acted the lines this way on purpose or if they just did a bad job at conveying the parts. The movie isn't good at all and seeing their mediocre enthusiasm for how and what they do with their lives= was how I felt watching this. If this is how people after my gen communicate and live- where's the LIFE? I won't be keeping it in my collection and didn't enjoy watching it and didn't understand AT ALL what the point is in making a film whose lead characters are boring and unaffected. By EVERYTHING. WOW. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/02/25 Full Review R D Greenberg is so utterly unlikeable, vapid, and unredeemable, I didn't finish the movie. Time I'll never get back. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Gnr E Ben Stiller made it to whole different level. I loved it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review Munkhchimeg T You can see the how the calm and minimal movie it is from the poster. Life is very simple and this movie can illustrated. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review A L The pompous letters of complaint the main character writes to everyone, from Starbucks to a pet taxi company, are amusing. So I kept hoping to feel a growing affection for Greenberg, but ultimately there wasn't a shred of anything to like about his thoroughly unpleasant personality. Nothing made me remotely care what happened to him. Yes I know LA people are a certain way. In which there can be humor. But it gets old quick. At the end I wished I'd checked out after 20 minutes when I first had the urge. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Read all reviews
