Frances Ha

Dir. Noah Baumbach. 2013, 86 mins. U.S. DCP. With Greta Gerwig, Mickey Sumner, Adam Driver, Michael Zegen, Charlotte D’Ambroise, Grace Gummer. With its lustrous black-and-white cinematography, clever and moving script by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, and vibrant central performance by Gerwig as the eponymous Frances, this lovely pocket portrait of an “undatable” young woman navigating early twenty-first century New York friendships, relationships, post-college malaise, and exorbitant ATM fees has already proven to be a generational cornerstone. Endlessly rewatchable, Frances Ha moves with the fleet-footed lightness and knowing of a French New Wave classic yet with a tenderness and empathy that feels tuned into the specific experiences of living in a city that’s both unforgiving and undeniable.
