Ugh, A24. It’s amazing that it’s taken him this long to direct. And of course I’ll watch it, even though it sounds painfully cringey.

Not gonna lie, it's cringey (but not the unbearable kind). Yeah, it was long-overdue. Most critics didn't like it much, but I was pleasantly surprised. Undeniably, you can notice the resemblence to Noah Baumbach's films (and style), but I thought there was enough originilaty in it to feel unique.

Omg, speaking of which, have you seen White Noise? Great to look at and completely incomprehensible. Such a waste of talent.

Nope, I haven't. And the reason why is pretty much what you've said. Such a waste. It was very surprising to me in the first place that he went for a material like that, which is totally out of his wheelhouse. Just baffling why he'd want to direct something like this.
