My mom used to say the trouble with being in your 20's is not realizing how ridiculous you're usually behaving. My take on it is that everyone should have periods of ridiculousness as often as possible, or we end up becoming bitter and shriveled in our old age.
"Frances Ha" is a case in point. The title protagonist (played excellently by Greta Gerwig) is a 27-year-old drifter and dreamer in New York City, wandering from one friend's apartment to another. This might have been fine back in, oh, around 1993, but times have changed, and it's increasingly difficult for dreamers/drifters to exist anywhere — let alone in one of the most expensive cities on Earth. It is, in fact, ridiculous. Still, Frances gets by, seemingly on her supply of sheer magnetic charm and many glasses of wine.
Directed by Noah Baumbach ("The Whale and the Squid"), this is the kind of cozy/funny indie movie that once came out of NYC, back in the days when the city's delis made great bagels — before Starbucks ruined it for everyone. But let's not go there.
