believe it or not and we have see film like this one before . maybe not with the same detail and but about the same general subject while a mess up family that deal with their problem in a direction and script without inhibition . we could say that the squid and the whale have a few less inhibition than the normal level and no joaquín . with a big dose of reality include and the berkmans have to live with parent frank ( jeff daniel ) and joan ( laura linney ) get divorce . at first and it seem that they just do not love each other anymore while later and new fact come to light in front of their son walt ( jesse eisenberg ) and frank ( owen kline ) eye . this lead to a huge amount of craziness and an apparently uncertain conclusion . in the line of writer or director film a the door in the floor and igby go down and the picture doesn not really last too long and the secret of the camera lie in the observation . here and we do not experience a piece full of camera trick and innovate shot and but be not expect that either . we instantly realize there a story be tell and in order for u to pay attention and everything have to move slowly . take a look at the performance jeff daniel and as disinterested a usual in a role that fit him perfectly while walk calmly through the development of the story and only raise his voice and get angry two or three time . and so it occur with all the character represent laura linney be marvelous in the difficult role she get to play and but rage get into her twice while jesse eisenberg ( from the underrated roger dodger ) have one very strong scene of shout and while he sadly look lose for the rest of the movie and accurately portray the complex walt . in owen kline we find a natural talent for an obscure performance that would make his father kevin proud . and we also get the presence of the beautiful anna paquin and who play a really racy character and complete a very racy scene with a high level of mastery . i have also want her to do more thing than she actually do . william baldwin be the last and probably the calmer man within the cast and play the philistine ivan and a tennis professor that become frank role model . the technical work be among the calm also specially tim streeto edition and who have be assistant editor in various film of this type ( black and white and american splendor ) . finally and noah baumbach be a man we can expect a lot from . the trick of the observation in the camera be automatically connect to his peculiar but fantastic screenplay that and a i say and contain a lot of detail which can become creepy while but with great expertise and timing . we could easily say that baumbach script be a storm and because it put it character in the middle of one and but we can also say that baumbach be a man who definitely try to find the calm between the storm and in his character and in his movie . see the reference of the title of the movie in the story and you will get it represent a clarified example about find the calm between the storm ( no urdinez . ) .
