"Frances Ha" focuses on the living conditions encountered by young people who have just stepped into the society but are struggling in reality a few years after graduating from university. The film is made up of fragments of Frances Ha’s life in New York from the age of 27 to 28. It seems to casually portray the love, friendship and life state of the "post-80s" generation in Europe and America. It is actually in a hostile world. Among them, polishing the most important essence of life evokes the resonance of the young generation who is drifting in the city, faintly remaining in their hearts, and still swaying in the struggle and reality

The fun and sadness always permeates the black and white images of "Frances Ha", recalling the sadness when youth is gone or is passing away. The film does not deliberately create joys, sorrows, sorrows, and direct descriptions of people living in New York, the world’s largest city. Everyone's love and hatred are lingering. The retro technique of long shots and jump cuts is a tribute to the new wave. It truly captures the essence of New York’s hardship, and its expression is relaxed self-deprecating. Regrettably, the whole movie is like flowing water until the end. Each chapter resonates with a concerto for the new women’s modern urban life. The cliché of "Reunion", if Sophie goes away by car, the camera stays on Francis Ha's bare feet much more vigorously than it is now. Fortunately, Noah Baumbach used the "HA" on the mailbox to partially make up for the shortcomings with the optimistic spirit of "HA"Nadu

"Frances Ha" is a relaxed and loose feature film that uses new wave black and white images to depict the joys and hobbies of bohemian New York young people. For anxious millennials, the film is a sweet bedtime story
