Frances Ha (2012)
Country: US
Technical: bw 86m
Director: Noah Baumbach
Cast: Greta Gerwig, Mickey Sumner, Michael Esper, Adam Driver
Synopsis:
A young dancer in New York City aspires to be made a permanent member of her company, and meanwhile moves from apartment to apartment as her best friend realigns herself.
Review:
The director here collaborates with Miss Gerwig on a project, in which she plays a female version of the sort of character Jack Lemmon used to do, socially gauche, sunnily disposed and with an unrealistic set of ambitions about where she is going. It's smartly written, and she is an engagingly quirky presence, but one cannot help feeling that there is more to this friendship than she admits to herself, or wondering whether it is good for her.
