This could have gone so wrong. A self-involved, immature central character is usually the equivalent of a black hole for viewer empathy (at least this one), but Greta Gerwig's performance and delicate direction from Noah Baumbach make sure the film never tips over into mawkishness.
I loved this film from beginning to end – different and quirky. Greta Gerwig is wonderful – independent film making at its best.
After the rave reviews this movie has had, watching it was quite disappointing. I like a wide range of movie styles, but I felt Frances Ha was disjointed and patchy.
Frances Ha is a 2012 American comedy-drama film directed by Noah Baumbach and written by Baumbach and Greta Gerwig. Presented on DVD.
Two of Hollywood’s hottest young actors, Greta Gerwig (Greenberg) and Adam Driver (Girls) headline this fast, funny and flirty tale of a group of twenty-something New Yorkers trying to find bliss in the Big Apple.
This modern fable from acclaimed director Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale) explores youth, friendship, class, ambition, failure and redemption.
Frances Ha movie reviews
“If films were gestures, this one would be a perfectly timed shrug, with the smile to match.” The Telegraph
“Above all, Frances Ha is a wry and moving portrait of friendship, highlighting the way that two people who know everything about each other can nevertheless grow apart as their needs change.” The AV Club
“Frances Ha also marks the rare instance in which an actress has the perfect role at the perfect time. Ms. Gerwig's work here is fragile, delicate, subject to bruising; something that could wither under too much attention. Perhaps Ms. Gerwig is the greatest actress alive. And maybe Frances Ha is just the ghost orchid of independent cinema.” Wall Street Journal
“Gerwig, who previously starred in Baumbach's "Greenberg,” is charmingly awkward. And Sumner (Sting's daughter) is an ace with deadpan one-liners." Entertainment Weekly
