Review of Frances Ha (2013) by Graciela C — 28 Dec 2013

One of the worst movies I've seen recently. There's no there there. It's about a young-ish woman who doesn't know herself or what she wants know, doesn't how to be in the world and has no great passion or personality to speak of.

She's basically a lost 23 year-old who's actually 28 (or older) and is still drifting; the movie, like her, goes nowhere very slowly. A complete waste of an hour and a half. I felt like leaving 20 minutes in, by which time it was painfully apparent the movie was not getting any better, but the reviews had been so solidly positive I kept thinking something would happen soon that would make it worth my while.

There was a single scene in the entire movie that had any emotional impact. Ugh.
