Noah Baumbach makes While We're Young an expression of contemporary city life... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 17, 2024

A plethora of likable characters and tidy wrap-ups diminish the artistic potential of While We’re Young, as Baumbach doesn’t compromise the film’s abilities as a general crowdpleaser.

| Aug 3, 2023

“While We’re Young” gives its audience things to ponder and to chew on while also being deftly funny and unflinchingly human. It just can’t quite see its strengths through till the end.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 21, 2022

If "While We're Young" kept with that and stayed about the couples and their shared situations, the film would be much more, and rightly, transcendent as a fresh romantic comedy and thought-provoking entertainment entry.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 26, 2022

Baumbach's poignant dialogue and wry examination of people cannot help but inspire us to consider our own relationships, friendships, and attitude toward the world—no matter how commercial or audience-friendly it may become.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 21, 2022

An exhaustive and acid analysis on accepting the passage of time and leaving youth behind. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Apr 17, 2020

It starts off as a familiar comedy of postmodern manners before opening up and embracing a wider world. Cheer up, it says to Gen X. Everybody's in the same boat. Get over yourselves.

While We're Young stumbles in pacing but contains a few sentimental moments and laughs that a mature crowd will enjoy.

| Original Score: 6.9/10 | Nov 13, 2019

It's rambling, tonally indecisive and contains no one as charming as Frances Ha, but this well-meaning spiritual sequel shines for its wry humour.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 10, 2019

A mostly breezy movie that's mostly very enjoyable and would have been great save for the uneven drama that emerges near the end making the film more of a downer than it needed to be.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Mar 14, 2019

Features a great cast with a great idea, but an idea that is never fully realized. It's a pay off not worthy of the film's very good opening half.

| Original Score: B | Jan 23, 2019

A Poignant Comedy Made For Adults

| Original Score: B | Dec 8, 2018

If, in truth, the actual narrative never truly breaks free from Baumbach's conceptual concerns, it's still a really interesting watch just because those ideas are so prescient

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 3, 2018

While We're Young is wickedly on the nose in its depiction of men so self-obsessed they can't see who they really are - or who their friends are.

| Aug 28, 2018

Has one of the smartest scripts you will see delivered this year. It's also arguably Baumbach's most mainstream movie to date.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 22, 2018

Baumbach is too subtle to offer simple moral lessons. Instead he pushes us to see that there's more going on here.

| Aug 21, 2018

Filmmaker Noah Baumbach has infused much of While We're Young with a loose, freewheeling quality that's impossible to resist...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 30, 2018

While We're Young has the golden feel of a lifetime's obsession, the sense that Baumbach has spent so long observing the ghastliness of hipsters in Brooklyn that he now simply has to get it all down in one long, dramatic evacuation.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 15, 2018

Baumbach's intelligence and uniqueness are evident in While We're Young. On the whole, though, the movie seems like it got lost on its search for some creative and human truth.

| Jan 12, 2018

As a non-breeder, I admit to being pleased to find a rare film that dares to stand up for the idea that your life is valid even without children.
