  ★★★½ Watched 22 Mar 2025

I did like how they show Jef Costello doing the same thing at the start and the end of the film, but in the former he’s calm and collected and in the latter he’s nervous and shaky.

  ★★★★ Watched 27 Jan 2024

  Frances Ha 2012

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 20 Jan 2024

  I love this movie to its core! I love the uncertainty and the confusion and the wanting of emotional intimacy in your life and everything else. Frances is a mess but she’s always herself in every situation. She’s so charming in her clumsiness I can’t help smiling every time I see her. I have nothing but love for this movie.
