Frances Ha is Ho-hum

The film, Frances Ha, is directed & co-written by Noah Baumbach.  Greta Gerwig is the co-writer & star of the film.  Frances Ha is filmed in black/white & shot mainly in NYC.  It began as an homage to the old Woody Allen films where Manhattan becomes a key player in the movie.  The similarities end with enhancing cinematography.  Gerwig plays Frances who is her own worst enemy. Just a few years out of college, she is struggling to support herself in the dance world.  Her inappropriate behavior & comments are so extreme I cringed with shame & annoyance.  Her decision making demonstrates a serious behavior disorder. Frances is at constant odds with her best friend, Sophie.  Is this a lesbian love affair movie gone sour or is this a movie of a woman bent on self-destruction?  Frances describes herself as "undateable & unlikeable."  I agree.  When Frances does manage to choreograph a dance she states, "I like things that look like mistakes."  This movie is one big mistake.
