Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts play Josh and Cornelia. As their friends all start having children, the couple gravitates toward a young hipster couple named Jamie (Adam Driver) and Darby (Amanda Seyfried). Jamie is an aspiring documentary filmmaker, a vocation Josh already has. The older couple enjoys hanging out with the younger generation, but eventually Josh begins to suspect his new best friend might not be as straightforward and trustworthy as he thought. While We’re Young premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.
“It’s sort of hard to be who you are and where you are, particularly when you’re younger. Particularly in adolescence, but I think also in your ’20s, you get this sort of feeling like everything is happening too slow and too fast. You feel like you’re running out of time already, which is crazy. But I think that’s true, that you have that feeling of invincibility, but also that you’re getting rapidly older. At least I did.”
