“You guys are like
magic.”
Frances Ha is a lighthearted
black and white film that explores fractured friendships, social class, modern
love and youthful confusion — all through the eyes of an adorable misfit and
dancer named Frances (Greta Gerwig).
It’s an authentic story
of failure and redemption that won me over mostly due to the charming performance
by Gerwig. There are two scenes that I remember from the movies in 2013 so far…and
both of them involve Gerwig running in the street.
Simply
put: If Woody Allen did a
French New Wave Bridesmaids, it would
be Frances Ha.
Award
potential: Charmingly awkward Greta
Gerwig is a breakout new star, but not in an Oscar way. Long shot for Golden
Globe in comedy.
The ten
buck review: Worth ten bucks.
