Film Margot at the Wedding

Posted by Alison Hallett on Fri, Jun 22 at 2:25 PM

I thought Noah Baumbach’s 2005 film The Squid and the Whale was just about flawless. The film, about two brothers whose parents are going through a divorce, is perceptive, poignant, and quirky without being twee. The Squid and the Whale proved that Baumbach can write family; from the looks of the trailer for his newest, Margot at the Wedding, he can write relationships, too. (And I have to say, the Jennifer Jason Leigh/Jack Black pairing reminds me of the hullaballoo a couple weeks ago over Knocked Up re: hot chicks and “fat stoner losers”). Check it out:
