What to Know

Critics Consensus

Audiences will need to tolerate a certain amount of narrative drift, but thanks to sensitive direction from Noah Baumbach and an endearing performance from Greta Gerwig, Frances Ha makes it easy to forgive.

Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 07/07/2023
4/5
[A] sweetly frivolous tale of stony-broke hipsters navigating creative dreams and disappointments in New York City. Go to Full Review
Sarah Mirk Bitch Media 01/15/2021
A rare and wonderful film that give thanks for friends and revels in life's low times. Go to Full Review
Deborah Ross The Spectator 09/05/2018
Yes, it is rather kooky, and highly self-conscious... but it's also sweet, endearing, touching, and features proper women you can actually believe in, and who aren't just drippily searching for love, which is something of a novelty. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
Greta Gerwig is delightful as Frances. If you know her more as a director, this will probably be a welcome surprise Go to Full Review

Noah Baumbach solidly directs Frances Ha while Greta Gerwig delivers a strong performance in her portrayal of struggling dancer. Go to Full Review

5/10
A comedy that Baumbach adorns with a notable layer of black and white, but whose dramatic core, in short, becomes routine and terribly superfluous when Gerwig walks aimlessly through the streets of New York to find maturity. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Soleil C. @bysoleilceline Dec 3 Perfectly incapsulates the mess of your late twenties, raw and imperfect and awkward and beautiful. And such an honest portrayal of friendship
“I’m not messy, I’m busy.” See more Scott R @ScottR Oct 5 NYT 1000 list. NYT 100 21st Century list. It was a brilliant movie showing people trying to make it in NYC. It was sad, but also endearing. It really reminded me of my friend who was very similar in her endeavors in the Big Apple. Saw in Tubi. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 23 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more May 28 It's a modern New York hipster movie with lines like "this room is so aware of itself." It's about dumb people who think they're smart. Pretentious but acting down to earth. Uptight but casual. Penniless but vacation in France. It's what you would imagine how SNL audience live and how they face challenges and eventually work it out. It's nowhere near real America but it still works within its own world. See more Dani G May 3 Funny, silly, naive, childish and clumsy. That's Frances, and Frances is the movie. A fun light watch See more Wesley W Feb 21 It was so obvious Noah Baumbach thought he was making the next Annie Hall... He failed. See more Read all reviews
