The director of the movie uses the following definition for his movie: "I wanted to reconsider and explore the way I make my films. In a way, it wasn't about the budget but the philosophy of shooting."
Although Frances works as an apprentice in a dance company, she is not a dancer. Although she has big and detailed dreams, she also has her share of the economic difficulties of living in New York. When she falls out with her roommate Sophie, the adult world she has just stepped into becomes even more surprising for Frances. Delicious black-and-white images reminiscent of Woody Allen's Manhattan and Greta Gerwig's performance full of unforgettable improvised moments make Frances Ha one of the most fascinating shows of the year. There's no shortage of creativity in this understated masterpiece, built around Frances' home addresses, which she constantly changes to emphasize her homelessness.
