IMDb entry: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5884230/
"A marvelous dissection of a midlife crisis thats far more self-aware than its protagonist, Brad's Status features one of Ben Stiller's richest and most bittersweet performances as a husband and father whose considerable obstacle to happiness is himself. Writer-director Mike White has crafted a painfully funny and surprisingly moving character piece, but whats most remarkable is how he and his star empathize with Brad's feelings of inferiority while, at the same time, pinpointing the arrogance, privilege and callousness that often factor into such soul-searching.
