Frances Ha

Basically the grown up version of Lady Bird with a black and white filter. Each character has a few unlikeable traits and nothing grand ever happens but that’s exactly how life feels like if you’re a little lost. 7/10

This movie captures the lightning of life in a bottle. The music is used perfectly. It establishes tropes so effortlessly; it’s an inviting watch. The pace is like memory: it spends appropriate amounts of time and attention according to each subject. Just lovely.

8.75/10

Such a great “late” coming of age. Nice to see a character who’s afraid to grow up but finally does it for herself. Also fun to see how this film could have inspired Gerwig to make Lady Bird.
Highly recommend it.

3.5/5

well, i cried again

it’s like nothing happened at all but still so much did even tho I did find it a little boring at times. I loved how you can see the growth in frances and just a basic realness of how life progresses and it seems like a movie that almost anyone can relate to
