Review of Frances Ha

Frances Ha (2012)
7/10
Life in black and white

The annoying thing with young rebels is that they always turn up to be like their parents anyway. How interesting is that?

Frances is the last one of them in her age group. We follow her, trying to struggle it. The struggle is partly successful, but she pays her price. Not that it's no return, because Frances will certainly in five years have kids too.

Greta Gerwig is great as expected. The first-take-feeling makes it look authentic, but the question why rebels can't stand the pressure in the long run isn't answered. It's not just a question of age. Are our societies really that strong? Yes, maybe.
