There’s a distinct Woody Allen-esque vibe to writer-director Noah Baumbach’s charming comedy While We’re Young, which takes a funny, sometimes bittersweet, and occasionally brutal look at the inevitable reality that is ageing.Anyone feeling wistful about their youth will likely relate to the many truths this film holds a mirror to, more than once cutting too close to the bone. I’m going with three-and-a-half out of five for While We’re Young. I came out feeling wiser and enriched. I think you will too.

This is the first truly great film of 2015. It is a film worth watching and recommending and loving, like a novel you can’t wait to lend to friends you care about. And as the end-credits rolled with Golden Years playing, I realised even David Bowie’s older now, too. And that doesn’t seem so bad. Just look at Woody Allen.

The casting is spot-on. Stiller is endearingly sincere as a filmmaker desperate for funding, but won't compromise on his ethics. Seyfried and Driver go about their job without an ounce of hamming and Watts' performance is a lesson in disarming straightforwardness. And Adam 'Ad-rock' Horovitz (of hip hop group Beastie Boys) is a natural at playing a stay-at-home dad. Other than that, the deft editing and the quick pace makes this a fun watch.

‘While We’re Young’ though knows better. A delightful and witty comedy, it warmly embraces the likes of us while gently treating those others, ribbing both and mocking none. However, Baumbach surprises in not making villains of anyone, only underlining that the winners of life’s race are people willing to change for the long run.
