Comedy from writer-director Noah Baumbach (Frances Ha, The Squid and the Whale). Uptight New York documentary-maker Josh (Ben Stiller) has hit a creative dry patch while working on a cerebral new film, until Josh and his wife (Naomi Watts) find their jouve de vive returning after meeting a couple of spontaneous young artists (Adam Driver, Amanda Seyfried).
"While We're Young is Baumbach's sparkling follow-up to his Festival 2012 hit Frances Ha. Where that film was a delightful, minimalist screwball comedy, this look at New York's creative class is a more openly funny social portrait. No film has better captured the weird, upended logic of urban sophisticates: the older ones embrace their iPads and Netflix, the young ones crave vinyl records and vintage VHS tapes." (Toronto International Film Festival)
