This is a fine tragicomedy about young peoples' lives, struggles, dreams and relationships living in NY. At first the black and white distracted me a bit, but that faded soon. The main character is a clumsy young woman in her 20ies. Her character reminds me of something like a female young Woody Allen. The monochrome picture supports that reminiscence on Wood Allen films for me. But the film plays in our time and is very much up to date in my opinion. The other main character is Frances Ha's best friend. Main theme in this movie is friendship. Friendship meaning your best friend who could maybe be the most important person in ones life, at least in Frances Ha's life. The happenings in this movie seem so realistic i wondered if it was a semi-documentary or something like this. This is just like real life. Someone here said there is no really storyline in this movie, but I think it has as much a storyline as real life has...or has not. What life makes of your dreams and hopes when you try to give your best to achieve them makes for some kind of Happy End here. I would recommend that movie for fans of Woody Allen and New York. Go watch it with your best friend.
