Hollywood Elsewhere Movie news and opinions by Jeffrey Wells

Wells to Gerwig Jun 30th 2013, 19:33, by Jeffrey Wells It’s bad form to linger. I think we all know this. Keep walking, keep moving, don’t look back. So you and Noah Baumbach have this film in the can called Untitled Public School Project, described as “another New York-set film co-written with Gerwig, reportedly ‘looser and wonkier‘ than Frances Ha…costarring yourself and Lola Kirke and comparable on some level to The Great Gatsby and Something Wild," and slated for release in 2014. But I took the A train up to the IFC Center last night, you see, and I saw Frances Ha again. My first viewing was at Telluride last September. We spoke there at that Film Society of Lincoln Center party. (You also spoke to my son Jett.) Anyway I just want to tell you how unusually radiant and wide-open you are in Frances Ha given your character’s depression and uncertainty about almost everything. Such a vulnerable, excited state of being and aliveness…live-wire, super-exposed, open-nerve stuff. Award-calibre. I just wanted to share this. I must say if I was making a mailbox name tag I would call myself F. Halladay rather than Frances Ha, but that’s me.
