Plot
The new film by Noah Baumbach, screenwriter of 'Fantastic Mr. Fox', is a comedy that tells the story of a group of estranged brothers who haven't spoken in a long of time. The brothers reunite in New York, taking advantage of their father's new art exhibition. 'The Meyerowitz Stories' is a film about winners and losers, and the decisions each of us make in life, and our relationship with our family. A cross between a drama and a comedy, the movie casts Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Emma Thompson and Dustin Hoffman. Along with 'Okja', it was the first Netflix film to be premiered at the Cannes Festival (in 2017), and received an standing ovation for four minutes. The movie was nominated for the Palme D'Or.

Wishing to repeat
In an interview at the Cannes Film Festival, Adam Sandler stated that he enjoyed working on the movie and with Noah Baumbach so much, that he'd do another project with Baumbach as soon as he offered it to him.
Controversy in Cannes
This film and 'Okja' generated some controversy after being selected for the competition line-up of the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, due to the fact that, as Netflix productions, they wouldn't receive a theatrical release in France after the festival. Netflix did try to make a deal with French distributors and cinema chains for a limited release prior to the streaming premiere, but this was hindered by very strict French laws which prevent any film that's released in cinemas from being available on a streaming service prior to 36 months after the original theatrical release date. Although the movies stayed in the competition in the end, the festival did respond to the controversy by amending its rules, specifying that, starting with the 2018 edition, all filmmakers and producers submitting their work for consideration for the competition must be committed to obtaining regular theatrical distribution in France.
