Frances Ha

As both actress and writer, Gerwig has never had a richer showcase, and her usual flightiness is chased with just enough pain to keep the character grounded and recognizable.

Who nowadays makes plush-looking feature films in black-and-white? Well, Noah Baumbach does...

Anchored by a charming performance from Greta Gerwig, it’s as light and breezy as a walk in Central Park, and just as refreshing.

Den løse fortællestruktur og Frances’ omflakkende tilværelse bliver et glimrende sindbillede på en bestemt type moderne storbymenneske. Frances Ha kan bedst karakteriseres som en sand dagdriver og dagdrømmer.

...Gerwig's performance is full of depth and nuance; self-conscious without being mawkish, clever behind the kook.

...Frances is quick to find magic in her life, and it’s infectious.
