It’s a tale as old as time, but Gerwig’s off-center charm juices it with new life while Baumbach’s “Manhattan”-style, black-and-white photography gives the picture a lushness uncharacteristic of New York indies. The result, both giddily entertaining and slyly political, is one of Lee’s finest works.Looking back, the only thing surprising about Al Pacino’s choosing to play the devil is that he took so long to do it.
