it was financed by NetflixNo, it was independently financed; Netflix bought distribution rights after the fact. One suspects that Baumbach made theatrical release a condition of sale.

Given that Baumbach won a bunch of awards/plaudits (incl an Oscar nomination) for Squid and the Whale, which this film most closely resembles, why the hell would he settle for a streaming release?

Way into this. What an ensemble. Seems like a MoMA audience ^^ would be the ideal crowd to see this with.

A few years ago, this probably would have been the Oscar contender and Lady Bird would've been on HBO.
Lady Bird is fresher, though. Whereas here -- if you want to see New Yorkers trying to find parking spots, Squid and the Whale 2, this delivers.
Also am a sucker for movies/etc about the change in status symbols in NYC culture: this, Oh, Hello in its own way, While We're Young (more stacks VHS tapes, as here), and so on.

Seeing this a second time, I just love the structure of the whole thing, how it takes so long to get all the siblings in the same room.
