Monsters and Critics
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.

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.

Guardian [UK]
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.
