It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Greta Gerwig deserved an Oscar for this. That's it.

This is the most accurate depiction that I've seen of life in your twenties, trying to make it in a big city. Just failing miserably at life, jobs, apartments, share housing, money, friends, relationships, but finally getting there towards the end, even though it's not how you imagined. It is the antithesis of every romcom that perpetuates the illusion that everything is supposed to fall in your lap. It's funny that we tend to be preconditioned to think that way based on clichéd movies and then are bitterly disillusioned when faced with a much harsher reality. No, great apartments, jobs and relationships aren't easy to find or keep, friendships don't always work out the way you hoped and dreams aren't always realised the way you thought they would be. But then there's that triumphant moment, when all that is behind you, and you've finally found yourself and your place in the world. And I think that moment is beautifully encapsulated in the final scene when Frances is smiling to herself in her own apartment and gets to put her name on her very own mailbox. I can definitely relate and still remember the feeling of finding my first apartment in the city, and that glorious sense of independence and self sufficiency of finally knowing everything is going to be alright. This movie is so real, and is pretty much the most unpretentious and relatable "indie" flick I've ever seen. Loved this so much more than I expected and I would watch it again.

Human emotions, I have always loved that! Everything is so organic, so natural. Truly a "french new wave" movie. The thing that I miss the most was choreography on dancing, I wanted more, to get little bit familiar with the character personality. Every time when I think of the movie, I am smiling. So many short stories for example - one frame - going back from Paris, we see the plane's wing - so simple, so bright - you don't need nothing more.Sometimes we have to make compromises to achieve something, but no matter what we do, we always need our closest friends around us! Splendid acting, camera work and soundtrack! You are feeling like you are flying little above a water - that's the feeling that I felt while watching the movie. No wonder why is the critics choice!

The film is really well made, but the characters are absolutely repulsive. The main character, Frances, is beyond annoying. This level of immaturity is hard to watch for someone like me who has had to be responsible from very early on. I don't understand anything about the title character and her directionless life, she is like the holy fool from the tarot deck, only upside down where all the sweet characteristics are exaggerated to the point where they are not an asset but a liability. I don't know if I can finish watching this movie, it seems to be praising all the things I loathe. I am writing as I am watching. And hey, the movie is over. What a waste of time this was.
