Jason Reitman bringt erneut des Teufels Lyrics auf die Leinwand:
The new film stars Charlize Theron as a divorced writer who returns to her hometown, where she stalks an ex-boyfriend (Patrick Wilson) who’s since become a married father. Patton Oswalt will appear in a supporting role as a crippled acquaintance who had a crush on Theron’s character in high school, and TWILIGHT actress Elizabeth Reaser will play the part of Wilson’s wife.
Despite the JUNO connection, YOUNG ADULT sounds like an intriguing departure from Cody’s earlier, lighter work. Cody has said that although the film “has elements of humor“, it’s “pretty serious and fucked up“, and described the central character as a female antihero. A script review by ThePlaylist praised YOUNG ADULT as Cody’s “most mature effort to date“, and compared the lead to the narcissistic, messed-up (usually male) characters of Noah Baumbach.
