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

Times (UK)

[A] sweetly frivolous tale of stony-broke hipsters navigating creative dreams and disappointments in New York City.

A rare and wonderful film that give thanks for friends and revels in life's low times.

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

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.

Greta Gerwig is delightful as Frances. If you know her more as a director, this will probably be a welcome surprise

Rated: 4.5/5

Solzy at the Movies

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

Rated: 4/5

Yasser Medina

Cinefilia

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]

Rated: 5/10

Pretty decent art house comedy with a touch of the female Woody Allen about it, especially with the NY location. Watched on Amazon Prime.

With questionable characters at odds with Noah Baumbach's stylish naturalistic writing and fun editing style, Frances Ha's slice-of-life pace requires a higher intelleigence from its viewers to appreciate.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
