Greta Gerwig
Movie Review: White Noise
4 stars out of 5Don DeLillo’s White Noise, from 1985, is considered one of the great satirical novels of modern literature. I finally got around to reading it 3 years ago. In summing up my thoughts in my Goodreads review, I said that while I didn’t think it was a masterpiece, I found the book […]
Movie Review: Marriage Story
3 stars out of 5 During this whole relationship-crumbling story, the one thought that kept going throug my head was, “Wait, do I still have a chance with Greta Gerwig?” But I guess, if anything, this flick would’ve been inspired by Noah Baumbach’s marriage and divorce with Jennifer Jason Leigh.

3.5 stars out of 5 Let’s get one thing out of the way: Yes, I’m still head-over-heels in love with Greta Gerwig. She is delightful and should write and star in every movie forever. I loved Frances Ha from a couple of years ago and I rushed, rushed, rushed to see this new one, again […]
Movie Review: Frances Ha
4 stars out of 5 I have mixed feelings about Noah Baumbach. Right off the bat in 1995, Kicking and Screaming didn’t do it for me. And Squid and the Whale, which everybody loved, I thought was so-so. Greenberg, however, I did love. And Mr. Jealousy, I was very excited about the concept, obtained a […]
