Perhaps deciding that the relationship tribulations of white, coastal-American men of medium-to-high class-privilege levels — which were well-served on the big screen in previous decades — have been rather overlooked of late, writer-director Noah Pritzker goes back to the well of male midlife neurosis for his sophomore feature and dredges up not quite enough to fill up one amiable indie dramedy. Powered largely by the affability of Griffin Dunne playing a reluctant pending-divorcé whose aging father has recently left his aging mother and whose adult son is having woman troubles of his own, “Ex-Husbands” which world-premieres at the San Sebastian Film Festival, is likable enough in intention, but flounders en route to its destination. Not unlike its befuddled protagonists, who can’t seem to translate meaning well into doing well.

Noel Clarke has said he’s developing a “script about all of this s***”, a year after multiple women accused him of sexual harassment and bullying.
In April 2021, The Guardian published allegations of misconduct from 20 women who knew Clarke in a professional capacity.
The claims spanned sexual harassment, unwanted touching or groping, sexually inappropriate comments, taking and sharing sexually explicit pictures and videos without consent, and bullying.
On Friday (19 August), Clarke tweeted: “I am writing a script about all of this s***t. I’m 30 pages in, but the Ptsd is real.”
The Doctor Who actor’s post comes days after he shared a video on Twitter claiming he had been cleared by London’s Metropolitan Police.
