What happens

White Noise is a 2022 absurdist comedy-drama film written and directed by Noah Baumbach, adapted from the 1985 novel by Don DeLillo. It is Baumbach's first directed feature not based on a story of his own. The film stars Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig, and Don Cheadle. Set in the 1980s, it follows the life of a niche academic and his family as they go through trials and tribulations, beginning with an environmental disaster near their home. White Noise had its world premiere at the 79th Venice International Film Festival on August 31, 2022, and was released in select theaters on November 25 before its streaming release by Netflix on December 30. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, with Baumbach's direction, cinematography, cast performances (particularly Driver's), and Danny Elfman's score receiving praise, although the film's screenplay, varying tones, and length divided many.
