While We're Young shines in every aspect: Brilliantly directed, charmingly witty, and performed with graceful ease by it's leading actors. Stiller and Watts have found a delightful chemistry here, and the scenes they share brim with convincing self-awareness and sharp comedic timing, opposite Driver and Seyfried, the wide-eyed twenty somethings who are reminders of a fleeting youth. Baumbach has found a new tempo: Not the jazz of Frances Ha, nor the low, blue notes of Greenberg, but an upbeat, yet real glance into the crises of middle-aged life nostalgic for an earlier time. A must see, hilarious adventure about generations at odds, the search for artistic validation, and finding oneself at any age.
