To me, this movie is perfection.
Excellent adaptation.
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Frances HaA journey of a 27 year old girl in her social and professional life resembles too much with practicality that you cringe yourself in the seat as she goes through each and every ups and downs which just represents how amazing of work has Noah did on paper and on screen.
Entitled. Mean-spirited. Lazy. There's a French saying about lazy artists picking easy targets.. It's known as 'kicking down open doors.' That's exactly what Frances Ha does. Nothing to see here unless you're young and wealthy in NYC and, somehow, still feel you need vindication. In which case, come right in and make yourself at home. Sorry, but in my book, everything is politics and this movie specifically invites the type of criticism I am making here.Unfortunately, the ruling class in this country has such a stranglehold on the 'art-world'that a self-indulgent piece of garbage like this will, rather than meet with criticism, get raves from the kind of cozy intellectual mainstream that, like blue-bloods throughout history, looks down on labor and working for a living.This is tired stuff, folks. These sentiments were exciting when the beat generation- a generation which actually struggled for their art- exulted in them in the 50s. To imply that one can transpose those same power-elite tangents to spoiled rich kids in NYC in 2016 is just insulting.I'm not a fan of the Men's Rights movement either, but this movie takes Mansploitation to a new level. Frances Ha actually managed to make me feel sorry for a Wall Street broker bro. Jesus. What an accomplishment. Why? Because I have some humanity and these characters are all about dehumanizing the 'other' and those who are not like them. Why not tie Patch down and crap down his throat while you're at it?I am far from anti-intellectual, but I do consider myself a bit too far to the left in my politics to relate to the facile rich-kid uber domination of the arts that has become the norm in today's America -and is lovingly represented in Frances Ha. Watching this movie, I kept wishing the guillotine would come back in vogue.
This beautiful mumblecore is the typical story of growth and denial. The film tells Frances' story. An aspiring dancer in her late twenties, who looks for her path to maturity in the New York jungle.The film was shot in black/white, perhaps as an attempt to recreate La Nouvelle Vague, so we cannot talk about cromatism itself, but it actually has some nice planes, as the very first one, who irradiates the beauty of youth. However, the core and climax of the story can be traced on the quote said by Frances, having lunch with her new roommate and friends: "Sometimes it's good to do what you're supposed to do, when you're supposed to do it." This phrase is true. She was right, but she didn't understand it then. In most part of the movie she's trying to avoid that sentence. She cannot understand that she needs to take some responsibility, to start building her life brick by brick. She represents everything young adults are today. They want everything right now and with less effort. But they're in a boggy path too, they're fragile and still naive. They're crossing the street between childhood and maturity, as she did in one of those iconic planes in the film. And that's not a easy job, to be honest.In addition, the quote shows that she was struggling with herself, when she could just let things happen and 'go with the flow'. "I'm not a real person yet", she confessed. She was confused and a little sad because all of her friends and acquaintances were kind of fine, stable and, probably, with a well-known future, while she was fighting just to keep a stable place to live. This happen to all of us sometime. Not in the same way, but the same topic. There are moments when you feel that everyone is doing it better than you so you get a little mad with yourself. I think Baumbach was trying to show how things will be alright if you just do what you're supposed to do, when you have to, albeit, it's important to point out this is not always true. To finish, I'd say it's not about being conformist, but realistic. When she understood that, she was happy.Well done, Noah. A simple film with a simple story well developed, integrally. The photography is okay, the script is fine (nothing pretentious), and the acting is fresh and natural, kind of "no-totally-actors", but I enjoy it, somehow, so... 7,5/10.
This is a story of a girl, Frances, who is awkward and wants to be a pro dancer. She always lives desperately and does the things hard. She lives an apartment with her best friend, Sophie. She wants to be with Sophie forever, but Sophie leaves the apartment because Sophie lives with her boyfriend. Frances is alone, and her job of dance doesn't well. She doesn't know what to do. However, she catches up on herself again. Then she does gradually what she can do. She moves us, and I think I won't fear a failure and will work hard. Also, this is a black-and-white movie, the simple mood is very good and fits into the story. I don't like black-and-white movies very much, but this movie is visible. In conclusion, I recommend this movie people who worry about their future or themselves. I want to watch this again.
