Plot summary
Danny Meyerowitz has separated from his wife and moves into the Manhattan home of his father, Harold, a sculptor and retired art professor, who lives there with his fourth wife, Maureen. Danny's sister Jean and their half-brother Matthew, a financial advisor to rock stars in Los Angeles, round out the family, along with Eliza, Danny's daughter, a first-year film student. Harold's work is chosen for a faculty group show at the college, and he refuses to take part in it. He and Danny attend a museum retrospective of Harold's friend and contemporary L.J. Shapiro, where Harold feels the art world has passed him by and runs off down the street.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) (2017)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The Meyerowitz Stories was the second Netflix film competing at Cannes, along with Okja, and the pair caused a clash with jury president Pedro Almodóvar, who argued that Cannes Film Festival films should be made for big screens, not online streaming.
- After the Netflix row, Cannes announced in 2017 that a competing film must commit to being distributed in French movie theaters, and a French law bars streaming services from showing a film for 36 months after its theatrical release, effectively blocking Netflix films from future festivals.
- The film's Bard College scenes were not shot at Bard at all: they were actually filmed at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York.
