Mistress America
Crit
You may well hate this. You hay find the writing insufferably precious rather than acerbically brilliant. You may want to drop Brooke (Greta Gerwig, who cowrote the screenplay with the director, her honey, Noam Baumbach) from the highest precipice rather than relishing your time with this deceptively fragile underthinking oversharer, and you may want to consign the precocious Tracy (Lola Kirke) to a newly established tenth circle of hell for her treacherous spinoff of puppy-dog hero worship. Worse yet, you may just find all these people too annoying even to hate. You might find the film a waste of your 84 minutes.
I, on the other hand, feel just the opposite.
Trailers
- Brooklyn--The biz's go-to Irish girl Saoirse Ronan in Nick Hornby's adaptation of Colm Tóibín's acclaimed novel, which I haven't read. Looks good.
- The Finest Hours--Coast Guard heroism; hard to take anything seriously with a title like that.
- Freeheld--MFW Julie and Ellen Page as a couple fighting for their rights; if the film's as good as the trailer, we've got something here.
