To me, this movie is perfection.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Excellent but underrated film

Mistress AmericaFor the most part of the time, one does wander that whether it is a movie or a special one-hour sitcom episode that is about to satisfy and clear each and every cliffhangers or lose thread of this hilarious tale. Mistress America works most of the time for its smooth and short runtime along with some of the smartest and newest idea which was to create a sitcom within a feature that is not only driven by raw natured mentality but also by its petty perspectives. Noah pulls it off again with this far fetched and as usual eerie script and maintains his statistics on being at the top when it comes to family drama along with the help of Greta as a writer-actor who surprisingly is flat out funny in each and every scene. Mistress America as said earlier is a two-part episode of a sitcom in which the makers is busy prepping up the characters for the audience in the first act just to explode the can of laughing gas in its second one which along with fast paced, short runtime, amusing but genuine characters and wizened concepts antes up the film than expected.

If I knew her I wish I would be dead too. She follows around a person who is very unlikable. In the end you find most of the characters in this movie are very unlikable. I wouldn't want any of them to be my friends. These are people that you here about in college that are only in to them selves. Shame on you for being rich. Shame on you for having morals. Shame on you for having religion. Shame on you for caring about something. They ask questions that mean absolutely nothing about the subject because they think they have some intellectual superiority. Do not watch this movie. Or if you have kids that are going to college. Watch this movie. This is what they will become.

If a theme seems to be emerging out of Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach's collaborations it's that women's friendships are complex, loving and real. Their first collaboration together, Frances Ha, left me cold, but I was completely and utterly charmed by their second, Mistress America. Lola Kirke plays Tracy, an undergrad who is finding it difficult to fit in at university where everyone always seems one step ahead of her. Desperately alone she hesitantly contacts her soon to be step-sister, Brooke, whom she's never met before on her mother's suggestion. Almost immediately she falls for Brooke. Not in a romantic way, but to her Brooke seems the perfect embodiment of everything she wants to be. Wild, passionate, daring, exciting, warm and welcoming. Tracy spends her days being dazzled by Brooke and starts to write a short story about her that she calls Mistress America. Of course Brooke isn't the perfect person she imagines and as the movie goes on the limits of their friendship are uncomfortably tested. I do not particularly like Gerwig as an actress, but she works best here because she's more of a secondary character. Brooke is seen mostly through Tracy's loving eyes but we can see that she's slightly ridiculous and not all she's cracked up to be. Lola Kirke is fantastic as Tracy. The script is slightly uneven but everyone offers just enough crackling energy to make it really work. A delight of a film.

There are several reasons why Mistress America may be considered a wonderful movie. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and has a very sophisticated sense of humour. The main actors all have exaggerated characters that always behave in certain ways (kind of like the cast in The Office) -- and the actors play these roles to perfection.The writing and delivery of dialogue in the climax of the film is particularly amazing, with fast, witty exchanges filled with little jokes. Yet, the movie vacillates from hilarity to melancholy without warning the viewer, which makes the film all the more special.The depiction of and commentary on NYC, youth, etc. is all spot on, making this movie worth the watch.Finally, the soundtrack is excellent too, giving the movie a very alt/indie feel. Many negative reviewers sadly fail to appreciate the sophisticated writing and humour, along with the truly wonderful job that the lead actors have done in this unpretentious flick.
