Alexander the Last



Alexander the Last a film by Joe Swanberg produced by Noah Baumbach of The Squid and the Whale and Margot at the Wedding, had it's WORLD PREMIERE AT SXSW AND ON IFC FESTIVAL DIRECT MARCH 14th, 2009. And it is available nationwide on-demand for 90 days on most major cable systems .
In tomato speak, the film Alexander the Last would be most suitable for junior cherry tomatoes. That’s right, not even cherry tomatoes, but junior cherry tomatoes. The film is about a husband and wife – musician and actress respectively – and in the words of Joe Swandberg, the film “explores how they deal with their creative relationships with other people while keeping their [young] marriage together”. It is clear that the director is exploring his own relationship while making it clear that his marriage is worth fighting for.
So is this film a tomato worth picking? Seems to us tomatoes are the kinds of people who realized a long time ago which relationships are worth fighting for and which need to be let go and the kind of people who have ‘found themselves’. So we would pass on that one and perhaps recommend it to some junior cherry tomatoes we know.
