VOD Log: While We’re Young

The first half of While We’re Young plays like a cross between The Overnight, but without the compelling engagement, and a broken wannabe Woody Allen picture.  Indeed, it made me reflect on the comparative jubilation wrought by Irrational Man.  A juvenile gross-out vomiting sequence spotlights the weakness of the film.

Then a plot emerges with surprising substance, rendered by some decent performances.  But it’s too late.  That vomit is not so easily mopped up.

A24 films have been so good that when the preview flashed the studio’s logo, that sold it for me.  So much for A24 standing as an unquestionable badge of quality.  5/10
