Claudia Weill reminds me heavily of filmmakers like Barbara Loden, Nancy Savoca, and Susan Seidelman as being able to capture people in a way that feels ripped straight from reality. The conversations and dialogue are rich with detail about the characters and feel improvised. The characters are all fairly likable and well-defined, leading to fun interactions that make this movie fly by.

Something movies similar to this fail at is finding an engaging hook, and from the start, we see Susan and Anne, and how Anne's moving out affects Susan. They have great chemistry, and it further makes these interactions more potent.

The pacing is great, the comedy hits, and it utilizes quieter moments of reflection that make the movie incredibly easy to connect to. It didn't seem like Weill made too much after this, but at least she was on the Directors' Executive Committee for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. She has so much damn talent in the way she blocks her scenes that I'm honestly pretty jealous.

Great movie!

Girlfriends walked so Frances Ha could run 

A young woman pursuing a photographer career in a big city, broke and completely alone… how could I not love this film. 

Themes such as abortion, adultery, career, romance, art, independence, friendship, sex, reproductive health, income, assertiveness, religion and sexuality are intertwined in everyday moments, small arguments, disappointments, triumphs, deep conversations, silent conflicts and casual encounters. All without forced drama and a protagonist who feels very real.

There are not enough films that realistically explore the tensions and ruptures of female friendships. While Anne and Susan's friendship survives at the end, the mini-conflicts that occur throughout the film are the result of the change in their relationship, something that many women face in their own lives.

“I wanted a friend.” “I am your friend!” “Well, I felt betrayed”
