The Squid and the Whale

[RaverDrew]

Is it worth watching ?

Wes Anderson has overtaken the Coen Brothers as my favourite film maker. He's co-producer on this so I figured I might like it. Anyone seen it or recommend it ? Is it as good as the films Wes Anderson has directed ?

Noah Baumbach's does a lot of rather hand wringing, self absorbed characters that you don't really give a shit for - a bit like Anderson but without the wit.
Found this movie pretty annoying actually.

He's got a new one out - Greenberg - with Ben Stiller.
Kermode hated it.

I hated it. Like Pie said; an Anderson movie with none of the soul or charm.

I prefer to think of it as like an Anderson movie, but good.

Utter self-obsessed posh drivel. I actively wanted everything to fuck up for parents and kids. The first part explains it's success on here and elsewhere a few years back.

Oh dear

Got about 10 mins into it last night before it sent me to sleep. Gonna be a handy insomnia film methinks.

Kermode's a posh wanker tbf. His reviews are terrible.
