Her boss's brother comes in from New York City, fresh from a stay at an asylum, to take care of the house. He's Roger, a forty-year-old carpenter, gone from L.A. for fifteen years. He arrives, doesn't drive, and needs Florence's help, especially with the family's dog. He's also connecting with former band-mates - two men and one woman with whom he has a history. He over-analyzes, has a short fuse, and doesn't laugh at himself easily. As he navigates past and present, he's his own saboteur. And what of Florence? is Roger one more responsibility for her or something else? Show More

Details

Greenberg is a 2010 movie that follows the story of Florence, a kind and capable personal assistant in her mid-twenties who is entrusted with taking care of her boss's house and dog while they are on vacation. However, her peaceful routine is disrupted when her boss's brother, Roger, arrives from New York City. Roger, a carpenter in his forties, has just been released from a stay at an asylum and is unfamiliar with the city, being unable to drive. As a result, he relies heavily on Florence for assistance.

As the plot unfolds, Roger reconnects with former bandmates from his past, which includes two men and one woman. Throughout the movie, Roger exhibits a tendency to over-analyze situations, has a short temper, and struggles to find humor in himself. This poses a challenge for Florence as she navigates her relationship with Roger, trying to balance her personal and professional life amidst his unpredictable behavior.

Greenberg explores themes of personal growth, self-reflection, and the complexities of human relationships. The film is a character-driven narrative that highlights the nuances of interpersonal dynamics and the challenges of finding oneself. With its relatable characters and engaging storyline, Greenberg offers an introspective journey that resonates with audiences long after the credits roll.
