Movie Reviews on Rotten Tomatoes:
"The wonderful thing about While We're Young and the relationship that develops between Josh and Cornelia and Jamie and Darby is that it's less about resentment than it is a celebration of romantic love. At least initially," wrote Lisa Kennedy from the Denver Post.
"Baumbach, whose films include the searingly funny, autobiographical The Squid and the Whale and the brilliantly uncomfortable Margot at the Wedding, writes wry, sharp, poignant stuff," wrote Steven Rea from the Philadelphia Inquirer.
"While We're Young starts off as an empathetic, funny look at middle age and winds up as profound and schematic as a Neil Simon play - or, for the younger set, an episode of The New Girl," wrote Rene Rodriguez from the Miami Herald.
"A sometimes poignant paean to struggling to age gracefully while time drags you kicking and screaming to the inevitable end, While We're Young effectively balances wry comedy and bittersweet drama," wrote Cary Darling from Fort Worth Star - Telegram/DFW.com
"For about an hour, "While We're Young" was one of the most exhilarating times I've had at the movies in many a month. It played like razor-sharp Woody Allen in his prime," wrote Richard Roeper from Chicago Sun-Times.
