THERE'S NO CHEATING WHEN YOUR'E 18, YOU SHOULD ALL BE TOUCHING EACH OTHER ALL THE TIME
when greta walks down the steps on times square, she looks like an angel descending from heaven — i hope that’s what noah was going for

Brooke: What's going on in college?
Tracy: I don't know, everyone's really excited about this frozen yogurt machine at the student center.
B: I watched my mother die.
T: What?
B: I was with my mother while she died.
T: I don't know any dead people.
B: That's cool about the frozen yogurt machine. Everyone I love dies.
"i think i'm sick, and i don't know if my ailment has a name. it's just me sitting and staring at the internet or the television for long periods of time, interspersed by trying to not do that and then lying about what i've been doing. and then i'll get so excited about something that the excitement overwhelms me and i can't sleep or do anything and i just am in love with everything but can't figure out how to make myself work in the world."
.........i feel personally attacked.
when i started therapy my therapist asked why i’d never pursued it before and i told her that i never thought there was anything a therapist could tell me that i didn’t already know about myself and her response was “isn’t that a quote from mistress america?” and this is why it’s impossible to do therapy in los angeles
like Frances Ha on adderall, Baumbach goes the full Sturges for his lightest, funniest & most winning film. i was thinking that this Greenwich movie about a manic CU/Barnard student writer was hitting too close to home. and then they drove by my house.
MY FULL REVIEW ON TIME OUT: www.timeout.com/us/film/mistress-america
What makes MISTRESS AMERICA so good isn't Greta Gerwig the actress – though she is, as usual, quite delightful; it's Greta Gerwig the co-screenwriter. She and Baumbach had me the moment Lola Kirke's world-wise college roommate belittles her for thinking it might be a good idea to attend a new student "convocation," prompting Kirke's Tracy to reply, "How do you know all this?" Feeling like everybody else was handed a life manual and you got skipped is terrifying.
