I highly recommend it. Noah Baumbach wrote some of the true gems of the last decade of cinema - Kicking and Screaming (1995), The Life Aquatic. This family/divorce drama might not be quite as amusing as those films, but it hits the nail on the head perfectly in capturing one family's story - a story that, no doubt, lots and lots of families in this country can relate to, even if some of the characters are rather ridiculous people. It captures both the family turmoil and the setting (life in the mid-1980's Park Slope) beautifully, and it's very well acted. Best film of the year? No. But it's a very good one.
