Frances Ha (2013)
Starring: 0 people you have heard of, and Adam Driver (if you're a fan of the show Girls)
Premise: A socially awkward dancer does socially awkward things.
Quote: "My name is Frances...HA!" - Frances Halladay (Greta Gerwig)
One Sentence Review: A movie based on any awkward character Zooey Deschanel has ever played, but not starring Zooey Deschanel.
In All Seriousness:
If you read my Top 20 Films of 2013 (So Far) post, than you would have seen that this film is in my top 5 films of the year. Frances Ha is a really enjoyable character driven film, starring the very talented Greta Gerwig. Gerwig has become sort of a go-to actress in the Indie world of film. I'm hoping people get to see this film now that it's on Netflix, and she gets the recognition she deserves for her acting (and also for co-writing this film). Frances Ha has a very light tone, and is just very relaxing to watch. With an 86-minute run time and several funny, quirky, and touching moments filling up those 86 minutes, Frances Ha is a perfect film for anyone who wants something short and sweet. Definitely give it a watch over the long Thanksgiving weekend.
