“Writing with Gerwig, Baumbach has created a fey, sneakily charming generational touchstone on a par with 'Annie Hall'.”~Washington Post

Aroview: The whimsical exploits of a struggling dancer at the tail end of her adolescence are semi-improvised in this Manhattan indie rom-com, inspired by the French new wave and mid-period Woody Allen.

Adorned with hip cameos and references, and easy-cheesy pop songs, this is too self-conscious to be satisfyingly authentic, though Gerwig is a charming enough presence and, through her own part in devising the script, has some grasp on her 27-year-old character's arrested development.
