    The movie THE INTERN is a perfect encapsulation of what that late stage Obama era culture was and how it felt at the time, and man…. I’m not saying people thought all the problems were solved or getting solved soon but boy did people not know what was around the corner

    I found a wonderful comedy called The Intern, a 2015 film starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. It was a charming, warm, and optimistic comedy-drama about generational wisdom and workplace gender dynamics. The script was good, and De Niro playing a 70-year-old man, was outstanding.

    This is the exact reason that I couldn’t put my finger on for why the De Niro / Hathaway movie The Intern feels so out of place now, and didn’t feel weird when it first came out.

    He really gives one of his best performances in The Intern. I still think De Niro is good even when he's phoning it in a bit, but he's really acting his ass off in the movie without being remotely showy about it.

    I didn't think it possible, but Robert DeNiro just gets better and better. I loved his new film, "Zero Day," and just watched an older one, "The Intern." If you have Netflix, check them out. They're very different films, but he shines in both.

    I *hate* these takes. The movie is over 20 years old. None of the women were assaulted, trafficked or had their job threatened. The Intern storyline was a shot at Clinton because it's an English film, but they made him not-a-dick. Do we really have to do this every year?

    Robert De Niro - 📽️ The Intern (Nancy Meyers, 2015) Every Meyers movie is plays with movie star personae, but it was hard to see this charming De Niro turn coming after a rough era. He’s electric as the titular intern in a duo with Anne Hathaway; it’s friendship cinema, and he’s never been sweeter.
