Bri A This movie absolutely sucked. I’d rather watch paint dry. The acting was terrible, the story was worse, and the dad is just a yapper who shows little to no expressiveness. Why people think he’s a good actor is beyond me. I sincerely advise anyone not to watch this movie and to save themselves two hours of life.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/25 Full Review Mason M You know I love me a good Noah Baumbach film. He's one of my favorite directors still working and this film was no exception. This was a really great film that I really enjoyed. The entire cast does an amazing job, especially Sandler. And though I've seen many films with similar premises, this film's characters are complex and interesting which makes this feel fresh. But what always keeps me coming back the Baumbach pictures is his dialogue. He is great at writing riveting conversations that always keep me entertained in the most mundane of scenes. This film isn't the most funny, but it does work very well as a drama. And the short films with the film were hilarious. The Meyerowitz Stories isn't anything groundbreaking, but it's a very entertaining film with great characters and that signature Baumbach charm. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Luis I This is an entertaining film with a unique structure that still manages to engage its audience effectively. The first half focuses heavily on character development, and it’s not until the midpoint that a significant inciting incident propels the plot forward. Despite this unconventional pacing, the drama is executed skillfully, with well-written characters brought to life by a cast of talented, recognizable actors. The film balances its dramatic elements with moments of humor that generally work well. Technically, it’s competent without being visually remarkable, but it suits the film’s needs just fine. Some viewers may find it challenging to connect with the characters and their involvement in New York’s contemporary art scene, but the family dynamics at the heart of the story feel relatable and authentic. Though the writing is strong, the dialogue-heavy, upper-middle-class family drama format might not appeal to everyone, especially with its slower, setup-focused first hour. However, it’s a well-crafted piece, even if it doesn’t break new ground. The tone and style reminded me a lot of a Woody Allen film, so fans of his work would likely find this an enjoyable watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Glen H Baumbach at his best. Humanistic, humorous, heartfelt while never going into sappiness. And incredible performances from the whole cast. Just a great film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Peter H As with “Marriage Story” and “Frances Ha,” Baumbach showcases his nonpareil savvy for exhibiting truths of human nature within everyday simplicity and pugnacious family dynamics. The purity of his screenplays consistently seems to get the best out of his actors too: Sandler, Stiller and Hoffman all give some of their best work here.
