The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) (2017)

20240221:
Netflix determined the movie for me as a 56% match. I decided to give the movie neither a thumbs up nor a thumbs down.


Instant Comments:
Hehe. Plastered and sober
Cute song.
Haha. "Call me... Pagina Man."
Can't believe she sent that to her dad.
How do you just put on the wrong jacket? [Oh, it looks similar in color]
Haha. They're all writing the notes down.


That's charming that they know his songs. (earlier his father sang Myron/Byron) and here his siblings
Hehe. Eliza is taking notes.
Interesting but unsurprising twist: "Matthew" was not made with Matthew ("You should have called it 'Danny'")
Too lazy to think the ending through myself, I scoured the internet. Eventually I found the following:
"The truth," Baumbach said, "is that Harold is not a failure. He had a wonderful teaching career, and he made a profound impression on his students. Is 'Gilded Halfwing' a great work? I don’t think it matters. Is it depressing that the piece is kept in a warehouse crate, or is it cool that the Whitney wants to keep it? Is Danny a failure because he never became the musician that he potentially could have been, or is he a success because he’s a wonderful father?"
