and couldn't take anymore. If you dislike unoriginal, formulaic films, it is curious that this film is on your list. Whether the ripoffs of Breathless, from the editing, to the photography, to the soundtrack, were intentional or not, original it ain't.

This is a movie that hates men.

HATES THEM.

  who was hitting an age at which many bright folks (of both sexes) have to face a decision: continue chasing a dream or realize it may never happen.
  Frances is an original character, not a little based on the actress, herself, and filmed by her significant other.
  As far as it being derivative: I certainly don' see anything at all of Breathless in it, excepting it's also black and white.

    Yes, the sun shines out of her ass and she shits marble. She's so wonderful and vibrant and alive, she's just a Goddess.
    
    And men are creeps with weird sexual problems.

      Frances was a failure at what she loved. She found "suits" boring and was shocked her best friend didn't. All pretty realistic, I thought. Her ebullience was infectious, to me and a lot of other viewers.
      As far as man-hating, I think you may be bringing some personal stuff to that? Noah Baumbach is a guy. Married to Jennifer Jason Leigh.
