Frances Ha laughs longest

Incredibly funny, down-to-earth and instantly likeable is how I would describe Greta Gerwig and that would almost be a disservice to her on - screen talent. Described as 'undateable' playing the lead role of Frances Ha in the same titled film, she gives ample opportunity for the audience to think the exact opposite. As a person who strives for a polished Golden Globes appearance every time I step out of my front doorstep, I could only admire Sophie (played by Micky Sumner) and Frances's (Greta Gerwig) effortless chic.

Diane Keaton and Woody Allen in Annie Hall

With echoes of Woody Allen's 1970's cult hit, Annie Hall, the black and white shot film showed how to look like a hip New York creative; meaning your clothes are a denotation of your philosophy on life rather than being a slave to the pages of a glossy fashion editorial. It was a joy to behold that girls who wear glasses and layer dresses over leggings could be seen as modern style icons. Real, cute and very clever.
