  Frances Ha 2012

  ★★★★★ Watched 13 Dec 2023

  Putting aside how beautiful this film looks, it’s a talent to make the viewer feel so connected to a character, despite not sharing any of the same life experiences. I feel a personal understanding of how she is feeling in every moment. Happy, awkward, sad, in love. whatever Frances feels, you feel it too.

  also literally hilarious?? maybe noah baumbach + greta gerwig is the recipe for my favourite movie?

  Plus One 2019

  ★★★★ Rewatched 28 Jun 2024

  
  “Yeah well I love you, Dumbass!
  …Do you love me?”

  So real and pure and beautiful and honest. A stunning depiction of how friendship and banter and petty arguments can sour and change and come so close to being ruined once it crosses into romantic territory… (real) but being able to work it all out in the end. One of my favourite romcoms ever and doesn’t get NEARLY enough of the credit it deserves. 

  Also long live Maya Erskine ilysm

  “You guys wanna go see a dead body?”

  Man, does anything beat a good ole fashioned ‘buncha stupid kids acting stupid and going on a crazy adventure’ movie? This might be the best of them all, sincerely.

  RIP River Phoenix, what a gem you were.
