Review by Library Journal Review

The fallout from a Brooklyn couple's (Jeff Daniels, Laura Linney) failed marriage on their two children (Jesse Eisenberg, Owen Kline) manifests itself in some odd and off-putting ways-from plagiarism to sexual high jinks-but there is some hope amid the pain. The semi-autobiographical third film of Noah -Baumbach (Kicking and Screaming; Frances Ha) benefits from a hi-def digital makeover, plus extras including reflections by cast members more than a decade after its making. Oscar-nominated for its darkly comic but affecting screenplay, it's worth reexperiencing. [See Trailers, LJ 10/1/16.] © Copyright 2017.
