4. While We’re Young
“While We’re Young” is a send-up and also a celebration of millennial youth culture, creative naiveté , Baumbach’s film stars an older couple (Ben Stiller, Naomi Watts), a younger couple (Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried) and weaves between them an amusing and breezily accessible story about co-dependence, opportunism, the complexities of ambition, and the ever-evolving nature of artistic authenticity. In this regard, ‘Young,’ which also features terrific supporting turns by Charles Grodin, Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz and Dree Hemingway is both a funny comedy and an insightful little picture with much on its mind –certainly enough to keep everyone occupied till Baumbach’s quasi-companion piece, “Mistress America” which is another keeper, arrives later in the year.
