Frances Ha Reviews

Based on the reviews so far, this sounds like a very funny movie, and given Noah Baumbach's filmography, this is likely to end up being very fun and quirky.

FRANCES HA is a beautiful gem of a film! GO SEE IT!!! This is what indy filmmaking at it's best! Greta Gerwig brings an original character to life and Noah Baumbach has just the right touch when it comes to letting the characters just be themselves. If you were 20 somthing, lived in NYC and sometimes you couldn't get out of your own way then this film will speak to you. There's also a beautiful scene of Frances running through the streets of NYC to David Bowie's "Modern Love" which is pure cinematic joy!

Quirky and charming~Love the new york backdrop

I just want to get in the fetal position and cry, but I'm not entirely sure why...

A sweet, sharply written film about friendship, life and the pains of moving on and dealing with the real world that avoids typical indie cliches and manages to be really honest. Like all of Baumbach's other movies, he develops his characters brilliantly and puts you into the minds of them and makes you feel for them and understand the motivations of their choices even when you know they are in the wrong. And the fantastic humor, terrific performance from Greta Gerwig and the beautiful cinematography are all there to back it up. I have issues with the pacing, but it's another great Baumbach film for sure. Terrific ending too.

Quick Review:

Oh the troubles of being a white girl with no money...so terrrrible.

If you haven't watched the TV show Girls starring Lena Dunham. It's pretty much exactly the same thing. I feel like this film is for a very niche audience. There is no one of color in this entire film! How can you live in NYC and not have one non white friend or co-worker!?

I really hate these films because they are a waste of space.

Oh my life is so terrible:
-I don't have any money >> Don't sign up for credit cards so you can fly to Paris!
-I don't have any friends >> Because you only want to spend time with your Heterosexual female friend!
-I'm not in a relationship >> There are like 3 guys in the film that like you and you don't care for them... Plus.... you only want to spend time with your Heterosexual female friend!
-My Career is not going well >> That's because you're trying to be a dancer and you don't work hard enough at it. If you want to be a dancer in NYC that's like trying to get into the NBA.

The dialogue and acting are okay...but seriously...why even watch this film!? Sure it's quirky and portraying a real character but ultimately many of the flaws in Frances life are of her own doing. She doesn't have it tough, she chooses to have it tough.

caught this at AFM, and i really can't wait to see it again. this is a great movie that doesn't miss a beat. excellent. really enjoyed it. baumbach is back in the green.

American take on French new wave!

The best vehicle yet for Greta Gerwig. All of her gifts are on display here in a character that is mesmerizing, free-spirited, acid-tongued, contradictory and wholly original. Noah Baumbach's best movie yet.
