Danny has a younger sister, Jean ( Elizabeth Marvel ), and they have a younger half - brother, Matthew ( Ben Stiller ). Danny is close to his daughter, Eliza ( Grace Van Patten ), who is starting college at Bard College as a film student. Some of Harold 's work has been selected as part of a faculty group show at Bard, but Harold refuses to be part of a group show. Danny and Harold attend the MoMA retrospective of a friend and contemporary of Harold 's, the more successful L.J. Shapiro ( Judd Hirsch ). There neither father nor son feels comfortable ; Harold is stung by signs that the art world has forgotten him and chooses to literally run away down the street. Danny meets Shapiro 's daughter, his childhood friend Loretta ( Rebecca Miller ), but he must leave to chase after Harold. Harold 's younger son Matthew, a successful financial advisor to rock stars on the other side of the continent in Los Angeles, is in New York on business and meets Harold for lunch with an accountant friend. They try to counsel Harold to sell his Manhattan home and the sculpture stored there, since Harold and Maureen can barely pay the townhouse 's utilities. Harold tells them that whether to sell the house will be a private family decision and stalks out. At a third restaurant he criticizes the prices, but orders lavishly once Matthew says he 'll pay. Soon he decides he has been insulted and robbed as well, and the rapidly regressing Matthew is inveigled into another scene involving running, chasing and embarrassment. The two bond slightly in self - righteous indignation. That evening they pay a visit to Matthew 's mother, Harold 's second wife Julia ( Candice Bergen ), who has since married a man named Cody, a wealthy philistine. Julia tells Harold and Matthew that she is sorry she was not a better mother to Harold 's three children ; her directness makes them very uncomfortable and they ca n't leave fast enough. Matthew resents Harold for his preference for a life of art over money. `` I beat you ! '' he screams at his father 's departing Volvo. Harold has been living with an undiagnosed brain injury. He enters hospital, where as the days pass his children learn to manage his care themselves, after first leaning on Harold 's doctor and nurse to take that responsibility. Outside the hospital Jean tells her brothers that the family friend who happens to be visiting Harold at the moment sexually assaulted her when she was a child. Matthew and Danny let her walk away from them, then attack the friend 's car with mounting exhilaration. At Bard to represent their father at the faculty group show, Matthew and Danny get into a fight, of sorts, on the quad ; later, bloody and crying, each makes remarks in Harold 's place, mostly about themselves. As Harold convalesces at Maureen 's place in the country ( the townhouse has been sold, despite Matthew 's change of heart ), it dawns on Matthew and Harold that Harold 's favorite sculpture `` Matthew '', a lifelong object of resentment for Danny and Jean, was probably based on his feelings for Danny. Danny, who up to now has been solicitous toward his father, refuses to care for him while Maureen is away and accepts his brother 's offer of a trip to California. On the way to the plane he meets Loretta, now single, and she suggests they go together to the screening of a film Eliza has made. In the basement of the Whitney Eliza uncovers the sculpture lent by her grandfather, long believed to have been lost.

Critical response Adam Sandler garnered acclaim for his performance, with many critics calling it one of the best of his career. On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 92 % based on 143 reviews, and an average rating of 7.7 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` The Meyerowitz Stories ( New and Selected ) observes the family dynamic through writer - director Noah Baumbach 's bittersweet lens and the impressive efforts of a remarkable cast. '' On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the film has a weighted average score of 79 out of 100, based on 40 critics, indicating `` generally favorable reviews ''. Richard Roeper of Chicago Sun - Times gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars and praised the cast and script, saying : `` They 're a smart and sophisticated and relatively privileged bunch, but they 're miserable and ridiculous, which makes for some poignant insights and some sharp comedy. We enjoy the Meyerowitz clan, even as we praise the heavens we 're not like them and we do n't live next door to any of ' em. '' Writing for Rolling Stone, Peter Travers also gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars, writing, `` Noah Baumbach 's funny, literate story gives Dustin Hoffman, Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller plum roles -- and may be the best thing he 's ever done. '' Peter Debruge of Variety gave the film a positive review, calling it the best Netflix film to date and praising Sandler 's performance, writing : `` With no shtick to fall back on, Sandler is forced to act, and it 's a glorious thing to watch -- even for those fans who like him best in perpetual man - child mode ( do n't worry : the character is a full - grown variation on that familiar Sandler prototype ). '' Other critics were equal with their praise of Sandler, with various outlets calling his performance a `` triumph, '' `` miraculously great '' and `` it 's time to admit that Adam Sandler is actually a good actor.
