Occasionally inspired, frequently charming and always watchable.
Has the earnest, wonky charm of a homemade valentine.
It's a skimpy, overextended riff, but some of the seemingly tossed-off moments are lovely.
Frances Ha is sharply focused on a genuine life issue that doesn't get much play in movies: the challenges of platonic love and of the complicated passions of friendship.
While Gerwig's gentleness gives Baumbach's work a new warmth, his touch gives her a new maturity.
An American independent film (shot in luminous black and white by Sam Levy) that feels off the cuff but is in fact exactly made by a filmmaker in total control of his resources.
The film boldly - and ultimately successfully - vastly favors character definition over plot, and favors character detail over laughs - although the second half (much more than the first) is very funny.
Greta Gerwig is delightful as an awkward non-dancer in this off-beat comedy
...like an early Andrew Bujalski movie with more articulate characters or Lena Dunham's 'Girls' without the ick factor.
Frances Ha is not the worst film of the year. That would be Snitch. However, it is the most obnoxious film so far.
This is a truly wonderful movie, recalling Woody Allen at his best.
Frances Ha is the work of an artist in love, and in Baumbach's case, it's not clear that love is his most constructive muse.
A great film that gets the spirit of New York exactly right:
