I was already in my 30s when Noah Baumbach’s “Frances Ha” was released in theaters in 2012, but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t identify with its flailing 27-year-old title character, played by Baumbach’s personal and professional partner Greta Gerwig.
The movie has gained resonance as time has gone on, not only personally for viewers like me but also for the trajectory of Gerwig’s career. It’s leaving Netflix on Nov. 30, and anyone who enjoys Gerwig’s work should take the opportunity to check out this wonderful early example of her screenwriting.
