Greta Gerwig makes "hapless" a happening and hip way to be.
A major leap upward for both Baumbach and Gerwig. Disarming, funny and genuine, in spite of the New York City backdrop.
Blessedly more interested with being funny and relatable than it is with trying to make pretentious statement about generational or societal detachment.
Noah Baumbach officially takes over Woody Allen's mantle as New York's representative auteur of quirky romantic comedy.
Greta Gerwig's charismatic performance elevates Baumbach's serio comedy way above its modest nature and scale.
The comic misadventures of a quirky young woman who falls down seven times but gets up eight.
...an agreeably easygoing piece of work that benefits greatly from Gerwig's consistently engaging performance...
One of the sweetest and funniest films of the year. Frances Ha is a wonderful story about growing up, staying young, about love, life, friendship and what happens to it all over time.
Noah Baumbach, making his most compassionate movie since 2005's The Squid and the Whale, gives these lives the full French new wave/mid-period Woody Allen treatment, conferring charm and substance on even their most mundane interaction.
