By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay Ok, so I haven’t watched “Margot at the Wedding” or the “Squid and the Whale”, since I said I would, after declaring Noah Baumbach one of my favorite writer/directors based on my enjoyment of “Greenberg”, “Frances Ha” and “While We’re Young”. Believe it or not, I don’t watch very many movies at home, but those films are next on my queue. (Post Update 12.23.17: I’ve watched both movies in the last 2 years and can now definitively say, Noah Baumbach is my favorite white, male director).…
