You have to wonder about a writer-director who wishes his characters would just shut up. I thought that was my job! Go to Full Review
David Stratton The Australian 11/30/2018
[A] very witty and affecting family comedy. Go to Full Review
Anthony Lane The New Yorker 10/23/2017
Baumbach's ripest and wisest film to date, alert to the fact that so little in life, especially a screwy or a super-ambitious life, is open to resolution. Go to Full Review
Benedict Seal Vague Visages 12/05/2023
Ultimately, the great strengths of The Meyerowitz Stories are the performances. Beyond that, Baumbach's crafted an attractive, gently funny family study, but not one that demands to be seen in a theatre. Go to Full Review

...a slapdash narrative that grows less and less involving as it unfolds. Go to Full Review

Tom B. @Tbrodigan Dec 7 Seems way too self-aware, pablum for UMC white people. See more Clare B Nov 10 This film is in my top 20. Noah understands narcissistic parents like no other auteur. This film captures the pain of the narcissistic parent and their selfishness, victimhood, grandiosity and fragility but mostly the horrific neglect, favoritism and triangulation that destroys sibling relationships. This is a masterpiece. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 23 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Bri A Aug 14 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. See more Jun 1 Interesting portrait of a dysfunctional family made up of its dysfunctional individuals. See more Mason M May 27 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. See more Read all reviews
