 Noah Taylor / Max
Dressed in a dark suit and tie, Taylor is bemused when told that one of his co-stars in his latest film Max, Molly Parker, wanted to do the film because Noah was in it.
Noah Taylor, Australia's most reluctant star, gives not only the best performance of his career, but risks a lot in his portrayal of the young Hitler in the upcoming Max, where he gives a performance as controversial as it is enthralling.
But it was the former that has fired up the actor, which explains why the publicity-shy Taylor was happy to grin and bear all of the hoopla for the sake of a film that has garnered him with his best critical notices to date.

A new Wes Anderson film is always a big deal, but a Wes Anderson film that he’s co-written with Noah Baumbach is akin to that miraculous day when peanut butter and chocolate combined forces.
Baumbach’s first movie as writer/director, 1995’s Kicking and Screaming, might be the best film about post-graduate malaise next to that Dustin Hoffman movie about the same thing.
Otherwise, I feel like I’m being poisoned," from the aforementioned Kicking and Screaming, for instance), coupled with his metropolitan sophistication and urbane wit, it would seem that Noah and Wes would fit together like some vintage puzzle found in that game closet from The Royal Tenenbaums.

 BOMB Magazine: Noah Baumbach by Jonathan Lethem
Noah had given himself the freedom never to try to persuade us to like any of the film's main characters—two parents and two sons—and as a result, I'd fallen in love with all four of them.
Noah and I had already had a couple of pleasant meetings doing some volunteer work for an arts organization (see, we're both good eggs), but my excitement at seeing his film led us into a much fuller conversation than we'd enjoyed before.
Years later, Noah's debut was a film I remembered fondly, but nothing in it prepared me for how personally I'd take his newest, The Squid and the Whale.

 Rolling Stone : The Squid and the Whale : Review
Baumbach sets the film in Brooklyn's Park Slope, where he lived in the 1980s during and after the breakup of his own parents, former film critic Georgia Brown and novelist Jonathan Baumbach.
In the film, Jeff Daniels plays Bernard, the academic dad in career crisis, with the vividly scrappy Laura Linney as Joan, the wife whose writing is just beginning to be recognized.
All the performances are flawless, but Daniels' portrait of a man trying helplessly to break out of the cocoon of his own self-regard is a finely tuned tour de force and his shining hour onscreen.

John Huston's role as Noah is fantastic, being one of the highlights of the film but pay attention to the people playing his sons and daughter in laws and appreciate how well they were.

 Roland Emmerich >> German-Hollywood Connection
As a film student, Emmerich made The Noah's Ark Principle (“Das Prinzip Arche Noah”), a school project that was chosen as the official opening film of the 1983 Berlin Film Festival and was the most expensive student film ever produced in Germany.

 Noah Taylor
Noah, now, is seemingly unstoppable in all film genres: from The Year my Voice Broke to Tomb Raider; from Vanilla Sky to Richard Lowenstein's 'He died with a Falafel in his hand.' Whatever Noah's role, one thing is for sure, it will exude his very being.
Unlike some actors with Hollywood at their feet, Noah notoriously chooses raw, grounded roles often found within independent films, and is choosy about those Hollywood offerings, preferring those in which he can deliver unto a genius reality.
Noah, you had an extra type role in another Lowenstein directed film 'Dogs in Space' (Dogs) back in 1982.

 Mr. Jealousy . Nashville Scene . 08-17-98
Noah Baumbach's debut feature, Kicking and Screaming, was a pleasant enough example of the Gen-X ensemble film, revealing a gift for comic dialogue and deadpan film technique within an undistinguished story.
Baumbach has assembled, in his two films, the core of a great ensemble.
Baumbach's thirtysomething characters speak in complex literary sentences gleaned from their extensive education, but endearingly, they sometimes lose their way in a subclause before the thought is complete.

To describe the entire film, however, Baumbach refers back to the opening scene: Dad Bernard (Daniels), and older son Walt (Jesse Eisenberg), are on one side of the net, while Mom Joan (Laura Linney), and younger son Frank (Owen Kline), are on the other.
Taking all this into account, it appears Baumbach has been grooming himself for this film since the earliest stages of his career, slowly moving closer to this tempestuous moment in his past.

Despite the film's semiautobiographical underpinnings, the 36-year-old writer-director isn't afraid to twist the knife, especially when it concerns the father, Bernard (Jeff DanielsJeff Daniels), an embattled, narcissistic novelist whose authority is constantly being threatened by his soon-to-be-ex-wife and his unruly younger son.

 Moscow Film Festival - Film Description
Twenty-five-year-old Noah Baumbach originally conceived of his first film around the time of his graduation.
And, while the heart of Kicking and Screaming lies in a poignant love story, much of the humour found in the film derives from four young men who are all at critical crossroads in their life and displaying tendencies towards a mid-life crisis while still in their early 20s.
Writing about the small isues which are faced - or not as the case may be - in everyday life, Baumbach claims his characters' malaise and inability to act is not about doing nothing, 'but about the surreptitious preparation to do something'.
