Noah Baumbach directs this wistful coming-of-age comedy starring Greta Gerwig as the eponymous Frances who is a 27 year old aspiring dancer trying to find her place in the world after her best friend/roommate Sophie (Mickey Sumner) decides to move away with her fiancé to France.  We follow her misadventures as Frances struggles to find steady work, a suitable home, and maybe even a bit of romance.  This acclaimed indie from ten years ago also stars Adam Driver in one of his earliest roles and was co-written by both Baumbach and Gerwig - both of them would eventually not only get married but would also each receive Oscar nominations for Best Director just a few years later.
