A review of the 2022 film “White Noise”

I chose to watch this film because I’ve found interesting some other work by the writer and director Noah Baumbach (such as “While We’re Young” and “Marriage Story”) and I usually admire the performances of the lead actors Adam Driver (such as the aforementioned films and recent segments of the “Star Wars” saga) and Greta Gerwig (such as “Mistress America” and “Maggie’s Plan”).

But let me save you two and a quarter hours of your life by advising you not to bother with this movie. Some critics have loved it, calling it absurdist and post-modern, but I found it incoherent and inexplicable. I suppose it is some kind of satire on modern America, but it left me cold and confused.
