Synopsis: Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts are Josh and Cornelia Srebnick, happily married middle- aged members of New York’s creative class. They tried to start a family and were unable to—and have decided they’re okay with that. But as Josh labors over the umpteenth edit of his cerebral new documentary, it’s plain that he has hit a dry patch and that something is still missing.
Enter Jamie (Adam Driver) and Darby (Amanda
Seyfried), a free-spirited young couple, who are spontaneous and untethered,
ready to drop everything in pursuit of their next passion—retro board games one
day, acquiring a pet chicken the next. For Josh, it’s as if a door has opened
back to his youth—or a youth he wishes he once had.
It’s not long before the restless
forty-somethings, Josh and Cornelia, throw aside friends their own age including
Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz in a sly supporting role—to trail after these young
hipsters who seem so plugged in, so uninhibited, so Brooklyn cool. “Before we
met,” Josh admits to Jamie, “the only two feelings I had left were wistful and
disdainful.” But is this new inspiration enough to sustain collaboration and
friendship with a couple twenty years Josh and Cornelia’s junior?
While
We’re Young is Noah Baumbach’s
cross-generational comedy of manners about aging, ambition, and success, as
well as a moving portrait of a marriage tested by the invading forces of youth.
No film has better captured the weird, upended logic of urban sophisticates:
the older ones embracing their iPads and Netflix, the young ones craving vinyl
records and vintage VHS tapes.
