Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.2|5.0
Starsììì
The Meyerowitz Stories (New and
Selected) moves through dialogue and scenes in a style that makes one
think this is a type of reality show. This adult comedy presents its story in a
way that life sometimes moves—disjointed, disconnected from reality, chaotically
arranging life events without an easily perceived pattern that defines the more
orderly life. It’s difficult to pin point any one scene and say, this is what
the film is all about because the entire movie defies definition and works
outside bound norms. The film classifies itself more as an eclectic offering
for the elite intellectual rather than the every day person.
Storyline
The
Meyerowitz family railroads its way through dysfunctional relationships without
resolution or sustainable forward movement.
