In some ways it's hard to believe that this film is by the same fella who made the brilliant The Squid and the Whale. Frances Ha was good and quirky and While We're Young was not bad though had a terrible Hollywood ending. I think there is two thirds of a good movie in Mistress America. Some parts were full of forced 'zaniness' (the last part at the house in the country was terrible) In his recent films Baumbach is trying to do Woody Allen and even Woody Allen can't do himself justice these days. (The 'cool' music, the 'mordant' observations... these induced some eye-rolling on my part.) The director ought to take a bit more time between films and get back to some quality work. Maybe the whole auteur thing has gone to his head.
