What to expect
Greta Gerwig’s performance and the film’s buoyant cutting make uncertainty funny without making it trivial. The monochrome image gives everyday instability the shape of a remembered city film.
How to ease in
The addresses change quickly, but the emotional line is simple: watch how Frances revises her idea of success as friendship and money stop matching her expectations.
Heads-up
A dancer moves between flats, jobs, cities, and friendships while adulthood refuses to arrive in one clean step.
I like how running through a city can look like freedom even when the next room is uncertain. Frances keeps turning awkward momentum into a style of survival.
