Greta Gerwig

A very impressive formal exercise in style and restraint...

Greenberg doesn’t amount to much, really, but it’s an enjoyably amusing character study with plenty of little pleasures.

Since the halfwitty Damsels in Distress wants to have it both ways, its satire is about as cutting as a plastic knife through a porterhouse.

More distressing are Allen’s regressive treatment of women...and an off-putting solipsism.

Brims with funny ideas both verbal and visual that are finely tuned by Baumbach and his cast, and sharply edited...

Like Brooke, the film flies a strange and arresting course: if not quite a screwball, then certainly a change-up pitch.

A not-unpleasant 98 minutes that’s nevertheless understocked with comic zest and thematic incisiveness.

The serviceable movie you make about this subject. But it does offer a little bit more, peeking through with an interesting insight every quarter-hour or so.

Empathetic and self-searching...a highly witty, deeply humane look at people who may be too conscious for their own good, people who think and feel too much ever to be truly happy.

Lady Bird’s unvarnished, unglamorized high-school drama has the quirky humor one expects from Gerwig...Ultimately, it’s a mother-daughter love story, replete with the tribulations of painful individuation.

Aside from Gerwig's own comic and dramatic sensibilities (which never intrude on Alcott) and a stellar cast, her Little Women adopts a bold narrative approach to retelling Alcott’s two-volume story.
