Staff Pick: Frances Ha

Floor Staff supervisor Christian Kincaid is here with our latest Coolidge Staff Pick, highlighting Noah Baumbach's Frances Ha.

Co-written by and starring Greta Gerwig, Frances Ha was the film that came before her directorial hits Lady Bird and Little Women, both among the Coolidge's most popular films. "You really feel the isolation [Gerwig's character] feels from losing her friend," Kincaid says. "And that's why I think it's the perfect movie to watch right now, in this weird social distancing experiment we're all in." Watch the intro below, and then sit down to watch the film, which is streaming on the Criterion Channel and Netflix, and available to rent on most platforms.
