Frances Ha (Noah Baumbach)

20 minutes of Frances Ha was very, very average. The whimsy was much too much for me, not humorous... The early-20s-city-friendship-bluntness did nothing for me. This felt just like the first few episodes of Girls, I think with even the same male actor playing exactly the same quirky-bluntness role. What horrible descriptors I am using, but it is difficult to track down exactly what this tone is that I find so cliche. I liked Greta Gerwig... the humility, the earnestness, the warmth. But this isn't for me.
