Two boys, one a teenager, one on the brink of adolescence, are faced with the trauma of their parents’ separation. Both parents (Jeff Daniels and Laura Linney) are writers, fearsome with words, and their sons (Jesse Eisenberg and Owen Kline) take sides, each admiring one of them. It’s a messy situation in a troubled family, but somehow we sense that out of the chaos will emerge interesting young adults, absorbing what is useful in their parents and forgiving what is not. Written and directed by Noah Baumbach, himself the son of two writers.
