Career
=1990s=
Baumbach made his writing and directing debut in 1995 with Kicking and Screaming, a comedy about four young men who graduate from college and refuse to move on with their lives. The film starred Josh Hamilton, Chris Eigeman, and Carlos Jacott and premiered in 1995 at the New York Film Festival. In an interview with The A.V. Club, Baumbach said of his influences on the film, "I really responded to the kind of ensemble feeling of Metropolitan, I was also thinking a lot about Diner, which was another great ensemble "friends" comedy."{{cite web|url= https://www.avclub.com/noah-baumbach-has-basically-disowned-one-of-his-funnies-1798267643|title= Noah Baumbach has basically disowned one of his funniest films|website= AV Club|date= April 8, 2014|access-date= February 21, 2021|archive-date= January 17, 2021|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210117052317/https://film.avclub.com/noah-baumbach-has-basically-disowned-one-of-his-funnies-1798267643|url-status= live}} Baumbach was chosen as one of Newsweek{{'}}s "Ten New Faces of 1996". Roger Ebert praised the film's "good eye and a terrific ear; the dialogue by writer-director Noah Baumbach is not simply accurate... but a distillation of reality – elevating aimless brainy small-talk into a statement."{{cite web | last=Ebert | first=Roger | title=Kicking and Screaming | url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/kicking-and-screaming-1995 | work=RogerEbert.com | publisher=Ebert Digital, LLC | date=November 10, 1995 | access-date=February 23, 2018 | archive-date=February 24, 2018 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180224113523/https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/kicking-and-screaming-1995 | url-status=live }} Reviews often mentioned the thin and meandering plot, but most noted this as a facet of the characters' life stage. Janet Maslin of The New York Times stated, "Kicking and Screaming occupies its postage-stamp size terrain with confident comic style."{{cite web | last=Maslin | first=Janet | title=Graduates Whose Hero Could Be Peter Pan | url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/10/04/movies/film-festival-review-graduates-whose-hero-could-be-peter-pan.html | work=The New York Times | date=October 4, 1995 | access-date=February 23, 2018 | archive-date=February 24, 2018 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180224173643/http://www.nytimes.com/1995/10/04/movies/film-festival-review-graduates-whose-hero-could-be-peter-pan.html | url-status=live }}
In 1997, he wrote and directed Mr. Jealousy, a film about a young writer so jealous about his girlfriend that he sneaks into the group therapy sessions of her ex-boyfriend to discover what kind of relationship they had. He then co-wrote (under the name Jesse Carter) and directed (under the name Ernie Fusco) the New York-set comedy of manners Highball. Baumbach disowned the film according to a 2005 interview in The A.V. Club, the director stated,
{{blockquote|"The truth is, I never "owned" Highball. It really was an experiment, and kind of a foolish experiment, because I didn't think about what the ramifications would be if it didn't work. But it was made with all the best intentions, which was to try and make a movie in six days, and use all the same people from Mr. Jealousy, with all their goodwill, and bring in some more people. And it was a funny script. But it was just too ambitious. We didn't have enough time, we didn't finish it, it didn't look good, it was just a whole… mess. [Laughs.] We couldn't get it done, and I had a falling out with the producer. He abandoned it, and I had no money to finish it, to go back and maybe get two more days or something. Then later, it was put out on DVD without my approval.}}

In 2004, Baumbach collaborated with screenwriter and director Wes Anderson, co-writing with Anderson, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004). The following year, he released his fourth feature film, The Squid and the Whale (2005) which was a semi-autobiographical comedy-drama about his childhood in Brooklyn and the effect of his parents' divorce on the family in the mid-1980s.{{cite web|url=http://guru.bafta.org/noah-baumbach-on-filmmaking|title=Noah Baumbach: On Filmmaking|work=BAFTA Guru|access-date=August 18, 2015|archive-date=September 5, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905125106/http://guru.bafta.org/noah-baumbach-on-filmmaking|url-status=live}} The film stars Jeff Daniels and Laura Linney in the parent roles. In an interview with author Jonathan Lethem in BOMB Magazine, Baumbach said of the film, "Sometimes when I think about the whole experience of this, it starts to become a joke within a joke within a joke. The film is not only inspired by my childhood and my parents’ divorce, but it was also the first script I didn't show to my parents while I was working on it. It's not that I wanted to protect them from anything. I just wanted to keep it my own experience."Lethem, Jonathan.

Retrieved July 29, 2011. The Squid and the Whale was a sleeper hit and a critical success, earning Baumbach two awards at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival as well as an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. It also received six Independent Spirit Award nominations, three Golden Globe nominations and the New York Film Critics Circle, Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the National Board of Review all voted it the year's best screenplay.
Baumbach wrote and directed the 2007 dramedy Margot at the Wedding, starring his then wife, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Nicole Kidman, Jack Black, and John Turturro. In the film, Kidman plays a woman named Margot who spends several days visiting her sister Pauline (Leigh) on the eve of Pauline's wedding to Black's character. It was shot in April and May 2006 in Hampton Bays and City Island, Bronx. The film was released in the United States by Paramount Vantage on November 16, 2007. Baumbach helped to write and direct the short films Clearing the Air and New York Underground which aired on Saturday Night Live. The films were co-written and co-produced by cast-members Fred Armisen and Bill Hader. New York Underground featured Hader as a British rock journalist doing a piece on quirky underground musician Joshua Rainhorne (Armisen has performed as Joshua at numerous live events). Clearing the Air featured Hader, Armisen, and Paul Rudd (who was the guest host for that week) trying to clear the air over a girl they all slept with. Both pieces aired on SNL in the fall of 2008.{{cite web|url= https://observer.com/2008/11/noah-baumbach-directs-for-isaturday-night-livei/|title= Noah Baumbach Directs for Saturday Night Live?|website= The Observer|date= November 18, 2008|access-date= February 21, 2021|archive-date= September 20, 2020|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200920111031/https://observer.com/2008/11/noah-baumbach-directs-for-isaturday-night-livei/|url-status= live}}
Baumbach co-wrote the screenplay for the 2009 film version of Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr Fox with Wes Anderson, who directed it using stop-motion technology.

The film also received the Academy Award, British Academy Film Award, and Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Animated Film, losing to Pixar's Up.
