Frances Ha is a romance. It’s not a boy-girl or a girl-girl romance, but one between the title character and her capital-S Self. Cowritten by its star, Greta Gerwig, Frances Ha is also that rarest kind of new American movie: one that captures in painstaking detail the way young people talk today while simultaneously paying tribute to the past century of movie aesthetics and mythologies. That combination—of persuasive naturalism and historical fairy dust—is also romantic.—Anne Baker, Criterion

“A rare and wonderful film that give thanks for friends and revels in life’s low times.”–Bitch Media

“Bolstered by a shrewd script and meticulous director, Gerwig shines. By turn screwball heroine and ungainly in character, she emerges as her generation’s finest comic actress.”-Yahoo! Movies
