While We're Young evaluation action

"While We're Young" is a sharp and interesting movie that accurately reflects our current lifestyle. It is not a movie about eternal youth, but about accepting the reality of getting old. This funny satire about aging hipsters and their dissatisfaction is Noah Baumbach's best work we can expect. It embodies Baumbach's unabashed true feelings and his perfect listening to contemporary conversations. The film, like all top satirists, cleverly mocks everyone's conceit and blind spots. The audience will inevitably realize that we may be any of these characters at different times in our lives. The film keenly tells the process of getting old, growing and assuming responsibility
