While We're Young

While We're Young (2015) is Noah Baumbach's comedy-drama with Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts, free to watch online on iFILM. Josh and Cornelia are pushing forty-five, childless, and Josh's documentary has been stuck in the edit for eight years when a couple half their age barges into their lives.

Jamie (Adam Driver) and Darby (Amanda Seyfried) spin vinyl, churn their own ice cream and wear hats without irony, and the older pair fall for that ease like it's a second shot at being young. Josh starts dressing down, riding a bike, and believing that charming Jamie really is his protégé. Then it turns out what the kid is actually after. Baumbach takes a generation-gap sitcom premise and steers it into an uneasy conversation about honesty, envy, and the way we rewrite our own life stories. It lands hardest for anyone over thirty who has caught themselves resenting someone else's carelessness. Stream While We're Young (2015) online on iFILM.
