Mistress America (USA, 2015)

Rotten Tomatoes: 82%
IMDb: 7/10
Metacritic: 75%

Cinema has found its 21st century golden-couple in Grta Gerwig (Frances Ha) and Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou). The multi-talented couple has written, directed, produced and starred (Gerwig) in Mistress America (their second collaboration): a funny portrayal of New York creatives.

The story revolves around two female characters - Tracy (Lola Kirke - awarded breakthrough actrees at the Gotham Awards) and Brooke (Gerwig). Tracy is a young college student with a strong desire to become a writer but who lacks the life experience to compose anything shockingly original; Brooke is an older woman whose bursting creativity has led to numerous unfinished endeavours. Mistress America is filled with witty dialogues and comically grotesque encounters to highlight our society’s desperate infatuation with success and what it means to be a creative individual in one of the most modern and fast-paced cities in the world.
