RAVING REVIEW: <\/strong>A film directed by Noah Baumbach, starring Greta Gerwig; unfortunately, this is no FRANCES HA or MISTRESS AMERICA. It’s very much a unique animal that deals with various forms of trauma in authentic ways.<\/p>\n

\n

Directed by one of my favorite modern directors, Noah Baumbach, and stars Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig, and Don Cheadle. Overall, the film was a genuine and thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of modern life. The battles of real-life trauma were at the forefront throughout.<\/p>\n

This wasn’t your traditional film from Baumbach, even diving deeper into emotional trauma than MARRIAGE STORY did. The film follows the story of a couple, played by Driver and Gerwig, as they navigate family and life challenges. They were contending with the world around them and the battles they were facing within.<\/p>\n

While most of the cast delivers fantastic performances, Greta Gerwig outshines the rest. Adam Driver was a little over the top for me; while he was very emotional in MARRIAGE STORY, it’s almost too much in this one. I will say that even with the “issues,” Gerwig and Driver have fantastic onscreen chemistry, delivering an intense back-and-forth throughout the film.<\/p>\n

Don Cheadle felt almost underused, even though he was in quite a bit of the film. His character plays an intermediary that is there to hear the issues, although not necessarily solve them. His performance was unique, not because Cheadle isn’t a good actor but because this role was different from what we traditionally see from him.<\/p>\n

A film titled WHITE NOISE appropriately plays with the usage of sound throughout. It’s almost as though the ambient sound surrounding everyone is a character. It isn’t distracting, but you know it’s there. I would be shocked if the film didn’t get at least nominated for the Academy Award for Best Sound.<\/p>\n

As a whole, the film wasn’t what I was expecting, but it also wasn’t bad. It just didn’t have the same connection that I have become used to with Baumbach’s films. I still think FRANCES HA is his best, with MISTRESS AMERICA a close second; this would probably fall right behind MARRIAGE STORY in fourth place (still not a bad spot to be in.)<\/p>\n
