Description

|
Nominated for three Golden Globes and the winner of the Director's Award at Sundance, this 2005 feature from director Noah Baumbach is an autobiographical coming-of-age story about a teenager whose parents, both writers, are divorcing. This Special Edition DVD contains commentary and an interview with Baumbach, as well as a behind-the-scenes featurette. "The father (Jeff Daniels) and mother (Laura Linney) duke it out in half-civilized, half-savage fashion, while their two sons [Jesse Eisenberg and Owen Kline] adapt in different ways, shifting allegiances between parents. The film is squirmy-funny and nakedly honest about the rationalizations and compensatory snobbisms of artistic failure as well as the conflicted desires of adolescents for sex and status.... Everyone proceeds from good intentions but acts rather badly, in spite or because of their manifest intelligence."—New York Film Festival
