  like Frances Ha on adderall, Baumbach goes the full Sturges for his lightest, funniest & most winning film. i was thinking that this Greenwich movie about a manic CU/Barnard student writer was hitting too close to home. and then they drove by my house.

  Brooke: What's going on in college?

  Tracy: I don't know, everyone's really excited about this frozen yogurt machine at the student center.

  B: I watched my mother die.

  T: What?

  B: I was with my mother while she died.

  T: I don't know any dead people.

  B: That's cool about the frozen yogurt machine. Everyone I love dies.

  What makes MISTRESS AMERICA so good isn't Greta Gerwig the actress – though she is, as usual, quite delightful; it's Greta Gerwig the co-screenwriter. She and Baumbach had me the moment Lola Kirke's world-wise college roommate belittles her for thinking it might be a good idea to attend a new student "convocation," prompting Kirke's Tracy to reply, "How do you know all this?" Feeling like everybody else was handed a life manual and you got skipped is terrifying.

  "i think i'm sick, and i don't know if my ailment has a name. it's just me sitting and staring at the internet or the television for long periods of time, interspersed by trying to not do that and then lying about what i've been doing. and then i'll get so excited about something that the excitement overwhelms me and i can't sleep or do anything and i just am in love with everything but can't figure out how to make myself work in the world." 
  .........i feel personally attacked.

  "I'm so embarrassed, I'm not a real person yet"
  -Frances, "Frances Ha"

  Suspended adolescence through economic restriction paints the Gerwig/Baumbach New York pictures as strong portraits of their time, but the curious thing about these two movies is a strand of optimism always punctures the melancholy of the situations involving these characters. When Frances Ha initially came out it was met with near unanimous twitter revelations that almost everyone my age (24) related to Frances in one way or another. "I'm not a real person yet", became less of a characteristic of Frances and more of a definition of a generation. She can't take money out of her ATM because the charge is too much and she wanders from house…
