Greenberg: 8/10. You'll either love it or hate it.
True character study. A movie about growing apart, battling with our insecurities, letting the little things bother you, and complete lack of empathy towards others (friends or the like); Freudian psychology. Roger Greenburg is someone who can’t get out of his own way. He’s someone who has an idea of himself, based on his highest ambitions when he was in his early 20s, his fantasy. It’s 20 years later, and he never became that person, but he’s still trapped in the disappointment and self-consciousness of never becoming that person. He keeps holding on to an idea with himself. As he got older, it’s become a real internal fight for him between the person who he really is –who I believe is – a stranger to him, and who he ‘thinks’ he is. The film can really resonate with a lot of people in life. You probably know someone like him, or see some of those traits within yourselves. Personally loved this film.
I was completely stoned with a few beers while writing this, so I apologize if that’s not what anyone else gets out of this film.
