Frances (Greta Gerwig) lives in New York, but she doesn’t really have an apartment. Frances is an apprentice for a dance company, but she¹s not really a dancer. Frances has a best friend named Sophie, but they aren’t really speaking anymore. Frances throws herself headlong into her dreams, even as their possible reality dwindles. Frances wants so much more than she has but lives her life with unaccountable joy and lightness. Frances Ha (2013) is a modern comic fable that explores New York, friendship, class, ambition, failure, and redemption.
“Frances Ha is sharply focused on a genuine life issue that doesn’t get much play in movies: the challenges of platonic love and of the complicated passions of friendship.”
—Mary F. Pols, TIME
