I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. The trailer had put me off going to see it at the Fleadh in July.
Noah Baumbach directs and co-writes. He also directed 'The Squid and the Whale', 'Margot at the Wedding' and 'Greenberg', which were all decent as well. He's also worked on a few Wes Anderson films. Greta Gerwig is pretty good in the title role. I think a lot of people might find her annoying though, and the film as well because of her. I had some problems with her character, like how she complains of being broke and lost in life but still manages to afford to live in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
There isn't a great deal of plot to discuss with it really. It's nicely filmed, in black and white, and there's some good songs on the soundtrack as well. It's certainly not an essential watch but if you've checked out the previous films from Baumbach then you may as well see this one too.
