Perhaps the greatest marker of the success of writer-director Noah Baumbach's The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) is that it feels both incredibly specific in its depiction of this one family at the same time as being completely universal in its assessment of family. Well, there's that, and the fact that it is also terribly funny and utterly heartbreaking.
Of course, it should be universal enough. There are certain situations and moments in a family's existence which, while they may be executed in different fashion are, themselves, easily identifiable to everyone. There is nothing particularly unique when at the start of the film a father, Danny (Adam Sandler), brings his daughter, Eliza (Grace Van Patten), to his father's house for a final dinner before she goes off to college. There is nothing terribly different in Danny's father, Harold (Dustin Hoffman), being an undeservedly pretentious artist hoping for one last chance at renown, or Harold's current wife, Maureen (Emma Thompson), being an awful cook. These are just facts, and while they may not be the facts of your family or mine, they are perfectly understandable.
