Reviews
Todd McCarthy wrote in Variety magazine on September 10, 2007 that the film showed family neuroses and bad behavior that a therapist should be more concerned with than Noah Baumbach. The film seems more like a " collection of fascinating scenes " than a fully thought-out and mature drama.
Michael Rechtshaffen wrote in The Hollywood Reporter on September 1, 2007 that the film was an " excellently played " tragic comedy. The portrayals of Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Jason Leigh would be some of the actresses best work. Baumbach has a comedic flair, which is one of the " most original and moving " in the industry.
