Audience Member 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review Dani G Funny, silly, naive, childish and clumsy. That's Frances, and Frances is the movie. A fun light watch Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Wesley W It was so obvious Noah Baumbach thought he was making the next Annie Hall... He failed. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review Luis I There were moments when I felt this film was about me. There were moments when I thought I was watching what might become one of my favorite films. And then there were moments when the film lost me. The movie follows a classic narrative structure, but it does so in a very understated way. At first glance, it might feel like a loose sequence of events, but the key plot points are subtly woven in, easy to dismiss as just another random moment in the protagonist’s life. That said, there are times when the story feels scattered, jumping quickly from one scene to the next, making it difficult to grasp how the plot is progressing. While this could be an intentional choice to reflect the character’s psyche and chaotic lifestyle, it’s not a narrative style that will resonate with everyone. Stylistically, the film delivers, with shots and camerawork reminiscent of a Woody Allen drama and French New Wave. Some viewers might struggle to relate to the main character and her choices, but the portrayal is thoughtful, nuanced, and brilliantly executed by Greta Gerwig. Her performance brings a deeply human quality to the role, making even the character’s more puzzling decisions feel grounded. The film is short, beautiful, and concise, exactly what you might expect from Noah Baumbach. It’s a fun, emotional, and dialogue-driven drama that leaves a lasting impression. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review Tara J It's quite a slow film and I nearly gave up after 30 minutes, but glad I persevered. It's a sweet coming of age -type film, though the character seemed quite naive for a 27 year old, (and too old to be trying to be a dancer, and not a very good one!). I know lots of us don't have life figured out at 27 but she was especially immature; though some might say refreshingly so. Overall, an endearing film but not for the impatient or those looking for drama. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review matthew C 3rd viewing and love it just as much.
