The writer/director Noah Baumbach, admits that it's semi-autobiographical, about his divorce from Jennifer Jason Leigh, but I have to wonder she's okay with that. And if someone is going to base a movie on their own painful divorce, they'd better be fucking honest. From what I've read in reviews, it doesn't sound like he was.
