Review of Frances Ha (2013) by Kj P — 10 Jan 2014

With such a simple story to tell, "Frances Ha," having the very symbolic title that it does, is a very fine film, displayed entirely in Black and White, to convey that this girls' life is nothing extraordinary, but what she is keeping on the inside (her dreams) is the colourful portion of the film.

Having such a short run time, you almost question how much stuff you get to see before the credits role, and that is the best part about the film, because you don't feel like it is rushing in any way.

I must say that Greta Gerwig's performance is unbelievably true to character, and she really makes you feel like you are watching this real person go through life's obstacles. I really enjoyed this picture.
