This is probably the most charming character study movie I've ever seen; it really is delightful! I agree that Greta Gerwig did an amazing job and really made Frances playful and sincere and sweet. The other actors were excellent as well. The pacing of this movie also really stood out as exceptional.. there were so many fantastic little scenes sprinkled throughout the movie of her just interacting with someone or doing something simple, that really fleshed her out and gave both her and the audience time to process everything. The soundtrack was used really well too. It was just a fun and wonderful movie all around :)

Wow. This was, for reasons I cannot quite explain, horribly boring - and the characters are all jerks. I actually turned it off after some 45 minutes, because it only made me annoyed. Too bad.

It's an interesting take on living in the city and the struggles that come with it. Greta Gerwig is great. All the supporting characters are interesting. 27 is an awkward time in peoples lives where all your friends are either getting married or just getting drunk all the time.

Noah Baumbach's neat little film about growing up in New York is quaint and quirky. I can understand why someone would think it's a bit of second rate Woody Allen rip off, but I just took it for what it was and really enjoyed it. Greta Gerwig is great as the lead, and the goofyness or aloofness just adds to her character rather than detract. Some characters are spoilt, some are unlikeably care free, some are pious and pretentious. But then that's what some people are like. If I was to be hyper critical I'd say that the third act just announces itself rate abruptly on our laps, and could have done with a few more scenes to bed in, especially given the movies' short running time. But that' a minor quibble. Baumbach's films continue to entertain me. I found it charming, quirky, unusual, endearing, amusing and interesting. As I was watching I was thinking to myself "I bet this film got loads of hate" and I still think that. But there's always the next Mission Impossible round the corner for the haters. I enjoyed it.

Frances Ha is a wonderful, yet simple little film. Less traditional coming-of-age story and more a character study of a young adult in limbo. The film is beautiful in black and white, as is Frances herself. The story is full of charm and subtle wit, celebrating the late bloomers who's paths are winding, imperfect, and deeply human.
