\nMistress America <\/em>brims with fantastic wordplay. Silky, solid words delivered with quick wit and quick rhythm. Keeping up with the rapid cadence is a joyful movie going experience that left me with two thoughts swimming in my mind:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. This is the most fun I\u2019ve had watching a Noah Baumbach film. His indie film gloom has been replaced with a sense that he actually likes the characters he\u2019s sharing. Vibrant. Fun. Leave the razors at home and crumple up that suicide note, Noah\u2019s happy!<\/li>\n
  2. Greta Gerwig is a rockstar!!! Let\u2019s caps lock that. GRETA GERWIG IS A ROCKSTAR!!! She is a singular talent that lights up the film with her smile. And she co-wrote and produced so all that good stuff I said about the script\u2026. That\u2019s her too. I love her and I\u2019m buying the Mistress America <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"a3\"<\/a>
    \nWhat is golden with the film is the relationship between Gerwig\u2019s Brooke and the young aspiring writer who is about to become Brooke\u2019s sister, Tracy (Lola Kirke). They meet each other in Manhattan and instantly connect. They speak to each other as if they\u2019ve known each other for always, Tracy glad to have found a friend in New York after just moving there for college and Brooke adhering to having a 21 year old look up\/idolize her.<\/p>\n

    Their first meeting they speak about everything and nothing, 4 topics constantly on the table, not actually listening to each other but absorbing each other. This is a dynamic I\u2019ve seen before in real life that does usually occur between two female friends and I have never seen it so accurately displayed on film. It is easy to get swept up in their excitement as it becomes contagious.
    \n    \"a1\"<\/a>
    \nNow not all is absolutely perfect with the film and, as Quinten Tarantino recently said about the lovely horror film It Follows,<\/em> \u00a0Mistress America is <\/em>\u201cOne of those movies that\u2019s so good that you start getting mad at it for not being great.\u201d Issues arise toward the end when things get forced and too textbook. Baumbach\u2019s third act is a Hollywood tack on that doesn\u2019t live up to the rest of the film.<\/p>\n

    But don\u2019t let that hinder. I still left the theater in love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
