Anyone else seen this yet then? I enjoyed it a lot. It’s similar in tone to The Squid And The Whale, but populated with less caricatures and more characters.
*SPOILERS*
Stiller is excellent and the relationship that he has with Gerwig’s character feels totally believable. I also liked the way that the potential relationship with Jennifer Jason Leigh’s character just came to nothing and wasn’t used as a mirror against which to compare the Gerwig dalliance. Rhys Ifans expressions were top notch too.
I also liked the way that, although Stiller’s character thinks that the period of his stay marks a beginning and an end, it doesn’t necessarily do that for anyone else. It’s just a short period of their lives in which an old/ex-friend pops up.
