not the ideal film to watch when you’re about to graduate and enter unemployment for the foreseeable future until a global pandemic ends

female friendship is literally the strongest natural force on planet earth. it's a scientific fact you can look it up

I've now seen Frances Ha three times

The first time I was younger than Frances is in the movie (she's 27). I couldn't stand most of the characters and thought the movie was just okay.

The second time I was 27. By then I had lived through (or was currently living through) much of what Frances does in the movie. I understood these characters now, and watching the movie was a mildly devastating emotional experience. I loved it.

This time I'm older than Frances. Watching it feels like a harrowing flashback to when I was 27 that really isn't far off from my life now. I don't think I've seen another movie that captures this experience of being in your late 20s in New York during this decade and trying to get your shit figured out. I still love it.

"so, what do you do?"
"it's kind of hard to explain."
"because ... what you do is complicated?"
"because I don't really do it."
LET ME LIVE I DIDN'T NEED TO BE CALLED OUT LIKE THIS AT ONE AM

it's that thing when you're with someone, and you love them and they know it, and they love you and you know it... but it's a party... and you're both talking to other people, and you're laughing and shining... and you look across the room and catch each other's eyes... but - but not because you're possessive, or it's precisely sexual... but because... that is your person in this life. and it's funny and sad, but only because this life will end, and it's this secret world that exists right there in public, unnoticed, that no one else knows about. it's sort of like how they say that other dimensions exist all around us, but we don't have the ability to perceive them. that's - that's what I want out of a relationship. or just life, i guess

elio and oliver did that

should i text him back “starboard anal sex”

Really liked this. Slowly realizing Greta Gerwig has my exact sense of humor and pulls it off insanely well. Just felt like a movie that was right up my alley in terms of a tone.

lucy dacus was right when she tweeted “friendship 🤝 is sacred 🙏 the highest ⬆️ form of love 💞”

normalise greeting people with the phrase “ahoy sexy”

why is this movie literally about everyone

“It's that thing when you're with someone, and you love them and they know it, and they love you and you know it... but it's a party... and you're both talking to other people, and you're laughing and shining... and you look across the room and catch each other's eyes... but - but not because you're possessive, or it's precisely sexual... but because... that is your person in this life. And it's funny and sad, but only because this life will end, and it's this secret world that exists right there in public, unnoticed, that no one else knows about.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

watched and will continue to watch over and over. a warm hug. perfect characters with perfect dialogue. feels like a mirror

i felt stoned watching Frances being Frances

thank you Greta.

this is the type of movie that some people can enjoy and some people can't and it feels like empathy vs critical analysis

yeah it's a white girl going thru minor life crises, yeah she's privileged, but her experiences are represented in a universal way and i really liked that.

i love how noah baumbach's scripts feel so natural. every time i'm informed that nothing is improvised i'm always surprised!

this is one of the greatest movie titles ever i love it so much bc it doesn't make sense until the very end and then it clicks

if i were named frances, i'd like to be nicknamed frankie i think that'd be nice

“I’m so embarrassed. I’m not a real person yet.” 
😢

every day i get closer to getting a “but, it’s a party!” tattoo

(happy 8th birthday frances ha!!) 

Noah Baumbach es genial! Esta pelicula esta increíblemente bien escrita y se agarra de lo mas cotidiano para hacerla interesante, y Greta Gerwig esta fabulosa en esta pelicula.

Frances is just a perfectly fleshed out character and you feel all of her angst - the dialogue is so great and the way I totally relate to being a reading snob like her 😂

Some of the best dialog in a movie. Frances Ha works on every level and Noah hasn’t been able to top it since. Maybe he always needs Greta to write his scripts with him.

talvez eu tenha amado pois filmes que focam em conversas sempre acabam me conquistando demais, mas a verdade é que eu amei todos os outros detalhes também, foi um prazer ter assistido.
