Margot at the Wedding

Margot at the Wedding may not be based on Noah Baumbach's own family, but it demonstrates a way of looking at families he must have learned somewhere.

...the Oscar-nominated screenwriter enjoys an arch appreciation of human weakness, positively revelling in his characters’ shabbier instincts.

...Baumbach offers up an undigested lump of misery that's difficult to process, but also uncompromising and true, with the specificity of great fiction.

...man genkender noget af personernes narcissisme og aggressive usikkerhed i sig selv, og selvom man har lyst, kan man ikke kigge væk.

...ett urblekt realistiskt skimmer som går hand i hand med den närmast sotsvarta historia som berättas.
