A short disclaimer: two of Noah Baumbach's films -
Kicking and Screaming and
The Squid and the Whale - are on our top ten list of the best films made in the last decade. So, you won't often find us quarrelling with the choices he makes. But, honestly, we were pissed when we found out he'd cast Nicole Kidman as the lead in his latest film,
Margo at the Wedding. We don't hate the woman, mind you, we just detest watching her on screen. And then...we watched the trailer for
Margot.
It appears we were wrong. Like that's the first time it's happened. We don't see it matching the near perfection of
The Squid and the Whale, but this oddball comedy about a group of aging oddballs seems like
Election meets
She's the One. Or at least that's how we'd pitch it.
"You've never punched anyone before. Yes I have, you don't know 'em because they're not around anymore because I punched 'em."
