This is probably the most charming character study movie I've ever seen; it really is delightful! I agree that Greta Gerwig did an amazing job and really made Frances playful and sincere and sweet. The other actors were excellent as well. The pacing of this movie also really stood out as exceptional.. there were so many fantastic little scenes sprinkled throughout the movie of her just interacting with someone or doing something simple, that really fleshed her out and gave both her and the audience time to process everything. The soundtrack was used really well too. It was just a fun and wonderful movie all around :)

Ahoy sexy! This is that kind of a film that left me with a huge smile on my face. Just delightful! Frances Ha is a lovely little indie film mostly about growing up. Frances is a very unique and honest girl, she tries to keep things in her life together and she wants to be a dancer but she not seems to find some stability in life. She is also very immature sometimes and that does not help too. So, we follow her journey in New York where she is trying to pursuit her dreams while other things are happening between the lines. It's funny, touching and honest. Beautifully shot in black in white giving it an even more charming look. Greta Gerwig is just brilliant! She really shines in this film with such a natural performance and I know that from this day forward I will always look at her and remember Frances. I guess I just love an awkward character like her.

Wow. This was, for reasons I cannot quite explain, horribly boring - and the characters are all jerks. I actually turned it off after some 45 minutes, because it only made me annoyed. Too bad.

One of my favorite movies of 2013. It really does make you think of what Annie Hall would be if it was written by a woman. Great film.

This is the type of indie drama I am always searching for: quiet, subtle, effortlessly funny, sweet, grounded.
_Frances Ha_ is a black and white drama with touches of comedy. There is not much in way of a story, we're simply following Frances as she lives her life, here and there. By itself, that s More

I sometimes equate this movie to waking up from a satisfactory sleep with the perfect amount of alcohol in the good ol' intestines, slowly coming to the realization that you have shit to do, responsibilities to attend, new lies to create, new truths to discover. We find Frances in a similar state at More

Frances Ha worked really well for me. The performance from Greta Gerwig was brilliant, she carried the film. There is a perfect balance of quirky comedy and heartbreaking drama. I was giggling and tearing up constantly at the journey of Frances. But the overall story was a great ride that ends with More
