[FILM: Review] The Five Year Engagement
When it comes to romantic comedies, Jason Segel and writer-director Nicholas Stoller have undeniable chemistry; meeting on the set of Judd Apatow’s TV series Undeclared in 2001, they reunited on Stoller’s cult comedy directorial debut Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which Segel wrote and starred in, and re-teamed in the same roles for The Muppets, with Stoller co-writing. With their third feature together on screens this month, their chemistry graduates to a full-fledged creative relationship.

[FILM: Review] Delicacy
It’s rare enough to see a co-director credit on a feature film, and rarer still that the co-credited aren’t siblings. You’d think a film set would be fraught enough without introducing sibling rivalry into the mix, but it seems to work for the Coen brothers and so, too, Stéphane and David Foenkinos, who collaborated to bring David’s 2009 novel Delicacy (La delicatesse) to the screen in this year’s charming French rom-com of the same name.
