My Take
Noah Baumbach is, for my money, cinema's sharpest chronicler of articulate people who cannot actually communicate. His New York stories turn family arguments into something close to chamber music, and the dialogue cuts because it is written with love rather than contempt. I find his collaborative instincts equally telling: the partnerships with Greta Gerwig, Adam Driver, and Wes Anderson suggest a director who thrives on friction between strong voices. Four Academy Award nominations have not sanded down his style, which to me is the mark of a real author. If you care about how people talk when they are hurting, Baumbach is essential.
