Frances Ha
Frances Ha
Frances lives in New York, but she doesn't really have an apartment. Frances is an apprentice for a dance company, but she's not really a dancer. Frances has a best friend named Sophie, but they aren't really speaking anymore. Frances throws herself headlong into her dreams, even as their possible reality dwindles. Frances wants so much more than she has but lives her life with unaccountable joy and lightness.

If you listen closely, Frances Ha accomplishes something wonderful: replicating the flow and sound of real conversations while ensuring the dialogue is essential. Notes of dialogue that seem irrelevant when said will come back to make you laugh, make a moment poignant, or induce a gaping smile. It is a very difficult stunt to execute.
