"My career is so important. I’m being ironic. Can you put that in quotes: 'He said, ironically?'" 

Lacerating the celebrity interview while in the middle of one, Steve Coogan deftly turns irony into art 

like a chef demonstrating knife skill[s]. 

In person and in his roles, this British comedic icon has mastered telling the truth yet making it sound like a lie, and vice versa; his laughs stem from the audience nervously trying to figure out which is which. Likewise, he may be the most important English comedy export since Peter Sellers -- and often as star-crossed and complex. 




　
As in The Squid and the Whale, Baumbach's chosen milieu is the company of educated, intelligent, empathetically blinkered New Yorkers who know how to use words for everything except concern. He writes dialogue that genuinely lacerates—it doesn't just [lash] the intended target, it lays open the speaker as well. 

"When you were a baby, I wouldn't let anyone else hold you," Margot coos to Claude, setting him up for the kill: "I think maybe that was a mistake." The scene in which Pauline shows Margot her (storage) room, acted by Kidman and Leigh with a seismograph's [sensitivity] to [shifting] emotional ground, sketches a lifetime of sibling rivalry in just a few surgically cutting lines, culminating in Pauline's desperate topper: "I've become a really good cook."

The characters are into [emotional] laceration for fun. They are verbal, articulate, self-absorbed, selfish, egotistical, cold and fascinating. 

They've never felt an emotion they couldn't laugh at.


　
Misery, confusion, and much stumbling about ensue. The sisters go at each other furiously; Malcolm hates himself and throws wailing (慟哭) fits; Margot bombards her son with confidences that he should not be hearing. Baumbach, who made the heartbreaking "The Squid and the Whale," 

is trying for a mood of Bergmanesque candor (公正,坦率) and laceration.
