Frances Ha almost feels like a Woody Allen movie, the black and white color and the post modern Newyork vibes filled with long form banter in intimate apartment settings.
One cannot help but feel closer to Frances, who is absolutely not a go getter but a kind of person who flows with the wind and is an urban cool laidback apprentice at a dancing studio. Frances shares an apartment with her best friend Sophie (Mickey Sumner), the duo gives an impression of a couple but are "straight lesbians" who are "undateable" as told by Frances next roommate Benji (Michael Hegen). The friendship between them is very defining to the movie and is tested when Sophie moves out with her boyfriend.
The movie follows a path of series of vignettes and disappointment at every corner Frances turns and how she doesn't give up and her slight skewedness brings a humor and makes the audience a bit closer to her in sharing the bad luck. Greta brings Frances to life and Baumbach captures the essence of Frances and holds on to the tone of the film firmly.
The film captures loneliness of Frances in the web of New York culture and the alchemy of opportunities lost and new friendships made in a cosmopolitan surrounding. And normalization of a hippie sort of lifestyle that is brewing in early 2000's which looks natural, free of any form and urges one to participate in it as movie comes close to an end.
Frances Ha is a must watch, Greta Gerwing is stunning as Frances and Adam Driver who plays the character of Lev in the movie does justice to the scenes and is very involving. Baumbach brings realness to the character and the movie breathes of the characters rather than the plot, it has an effect like one has an urge to be like the most cool person iin highschool. I recommend to watch the movie and it's hard not fall in love in Frances as one discovers it themselves.
