"Greenberg" Press Tsunami Arriving, But When Does It Crest?



Every day, something new!

The film opens this weekend in NY/LA, and next weekend elsewhere, and so a press tsunami is to be expected, but I'm like the folks were recently in Hawaii regarding the tsunami from the Chilean quake, wondering like "OK, is it safe to go down to the water?"(I just hope the movie shows in Sacramento - I'm getting worried because I see no announcements).

Here's another review:
Ultimately, the film is difficult to categorize. It’s funny, but it’s not a comedy. It’s about two people forming a connection, but it’s not a romance. It follows a narrative arc, but it’s really more of a character study. Basically, it’s the kind of movie that gives studio marketing departments fits, yet that’s part of what makes it great. In many ways it’s a more mainstream film than Baumbach’s previous efforts, but Greenberg is also a refreshing leap forward. What’s more, it’s a career high point for Stiller and proof that Gerwig is more than ready to graduate to the big time.

...4 stars (out of 5).
