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

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.

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

Liked the black and white and the pacing. But Frances just felt so insufferable and socially unaware. Not pulling weight, stumbling around.

Beautiful, quirky, snappy editing, love how introspective it can get, nostalgic too… frances+Sophie forever

Story resonates, but was difficult to get there
