"The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)" is a 2017 comedy-drama film directed and written by Noah Baumbach. The movie follows the dysfunctional Meyerowitz family as they come together in New York City to celebrate the artistic work of their father, Harold Meyerowitz.
Harold is a retired, acclaimed sculptor and art professor who has always been more dedicated to his work than to his family. The story primarily revolves around his three adult children: Danny, Matthew, and Jean. Each sibling has a complicated relationship with their father, stemming from Harold's favoritism and his inability to emotionally connect with them.
Danny, played by Adam Sandler, is the oldest son and currently unemployed. He always felt overshadowed by his father's artistic success and failed to become a musician despite having talent. Despite his lack of self-belief, Danny is also a doting father to his daughter Eliza (Grace Van Patten), who is leaving for college just as the family reunion takes place.
Matthew, portrayed by Ben Stiller, is the middle child and the most successful of the siblings. He has achieved financial success as a wealthy and high-profile financial advisor, distancing himself from his father's artistic legacy. However, Matthew still carries the resentment and emotional scars from his childhood, constantly seeking his father's approval.
Jean, played by Elizabeth Marvel, is the youngest child and often feels ignored within the family dynamic. She struggles with her own insecurities and has chosen a more unconventional life path as a housewife. Jean's inability to assert herself contributes to her feeling overlooked and dismissed by her father.
As the family gathers, tensions surface, and the complicated dynamics between the siblings and their father become more evident. While Harold is being honored as an artist, his family's unspoken grievances and unresolved emotional wounds begin to boil over. Past resentments, disappointments, and their intertwined relationships lead to confrontations, bickering, and emotional outbursts.
Through a series of poignant and humorous encounters, the Meyerowitz family confronts their family history, personal issues, and expectations laid upon them by their father. The film delves into themes of family, identity, legacy, and the impact of absent or conditional love. It explores how each character copes with their past, navigates their relationships, and tries to find their own path while coming to terms with the artistic presence of their father.
"The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)" offers an insightful and emotional exploration of family dynamics, showcasing the bonds and fractures that exist within a complex and flawed family structure, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding and acceptance of each other.
